Usana Health Sciences, Inc., a provider of science-based nutritional supplements, announced it has signed a two-year agreement to be the official supplement supplier of the Great Britain Short Track Speed Skating Team.
The team, which includes decorated skater Jon Eley, is gaining more recognition as it prepares for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. Eley has won two World Cup silver medals this season and is ranked third in the world in the 500m event. In 2008, the men’s relay team earned a bronze medal at the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships and a silver medal at the Short Track Speed Skating European Championships.
“The National Ice Skating Association (NISA) welcomes this exciting partnership between Great Britain Short Track Speed Skating and Usana,” said NISA General Secretary Keith Horton. “Usana is our first major sponsor in a great number of years, and we are pleased to be associated with such a prestigious and internationally renowned company. This partnership will benefit the athletes and raise the profile of not only NISA but Usana as well.”
