Two More Victories for Team Nutrilite Athletes

The Reebok Grand Prix was the site of two more victories for Jenn Stuczynski and Sanya Richards.  Despite the severe storms and lengthy delays, Jenn vaulted to yet another victory while Sanya breezed to a win in the 400-meter Sprint. Liu Xiang pulled out of the 110-meter hurdle event due to a tight hamstring, but graciously addressed his supporters in the stands.  

Jenn slightly missed the 16 ft, 5-1/2 inch mark while attempting to go for the world record in the Pole Vault event.  She still managed to beat the field by nearly a foot to take first place honors.   Sanya was also a winner in her event with a time of 50.04 - a whole 2/3 of a second faster than her next competition. 

After three years as the "World's Fastest Man," Asafa Powell's world record in the men's 100M sprint was broken by fellow Jamaican, Usain Bolt. Bolt squeaked past Asafa's record by .02 seconds on Saturday, May 31, 2008, at the Reebok Grand Prix with a time of 9.72.  Asafa, who has not been competing recently due to injury, looks forward to getting back on the track this summer and reclaiming his "World's Fastest Man" title. Asafa's return to racing is highly anticipated given this newly heated battle for the world record, and is sure to capture tremendous exposure and excitement during the coming months. We hope everyone will share in the excitement and rally to support our world class sprinter and original member of Team Nutrilite as the drama on the track unfolds this summer.

Make sure to check out the Nike Prefontaine Classic next Sunday, June 8 LIVE on NBC from 1pm - 3pm PT (4pm - 6pm ET).
