Born in 1983,  Nick Symmonds is a professional middle-distance track athlete, whose main events are the 800 and 1500 meters races. Symmonds experienced some sporting success during high school, winning several state championships. This success continued through to his college years, where he won the 800m NCAA championship for four consecutive years, and holds several NCAA records.

Symmonds began competing professionally in 2006 after graduating with a degree in biochemistry. Career highlights include 2008 USA Outdoor Champion at 800m and 2010 USA Indoor Champion at 800m, and making the 2008 USA Olympic squad. Unfortunately, Symmonds narrowly missed out on reaching the Olympic finals, but simply making it to Beijing was a great achievement in itself.

Symmonds is quoted on Melaleuca’s blog, saying ““I really like Sustain® Sport, that and the Access™ Bar. Those Melaleuca products in particular have made a big difference.” Sustain Sport is designed to hydrate the system, whilst providing the athlete with endurance for a longer, better work work out, making it ideal for a world class athlete.

Sheena Johnson Tosta took home a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the 400m hurdles. Tosta took home the first U.S medals in the hurdles since 1996. Tosta is incredibly talented, and has held some astounding records. In 2004 she became the youngest female athlete to complete the 400m hurdles in under 53 seconds. Her time of 52.95 seconds in the Olympic Trials was, at the time, the fastest in the world. Tosta consistently performs well at international meets, and is likely to be tough competition at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Tosta regularly competes at big meets, racing several days in a row. She also has to endure tough training regimes day after day, meaning there is little time in between sessions to recover and repair her muscles. Tosta uses Proflex™ Bars and Phytomega® to help reduce inflammation and have her in top shape, ready for the next session.

Shalane Flanagan has experienced a large amount of media attention recently, due to her incredible success at the 2010 New York Marathon. Olympian Flanagan, ran her first marathon on November 7th 2010 and finished second place in a time of 2:28:40, just 20 seconds behind the winner. Flanagan began her professional career in 2004, and has seemingly gone from strength to strength. She has broken several records, including the 5000m American record, and has won a bronze Olympic medal.

Due to her recent success, Flanagan is currently generating a lot of media exposure for Melaleuca, raising brand awareness. Flanagan has spoken highly of Proflex™, using it before and after training sessions. Just like Symmonds, Flanagan also praises Sustain Sport and Access Bars.

All three of these world-class athletes perform outstandingly well in their chosen discipline. Their hard work and commitment to training has paid off, and the three are near the top of their game. Of course, Melaleuca does have a role to play in their successes. Elite athletes rely on the very best nutritional products and health care to enable them to perform at their physical peak. Melaleuca provides this, and the company is certainly powering Symmonds, Tosta and Flanagan to victory.
