Asafa Powell
sets a New World Speed Record
Ada
Michigan, September 10, 2007.
Nutrilite, the world’s leading brand of
vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements, congratulates Asafa
Powell, The World’s Fastest Man, for again setting a new World
Record in the 100m sprint with a time of 9.74 seconds. Quixtar
Independent Business Owners are excited to know their exclusive
flagship health brand helped power Asafa’s record-breaking
achievement.
Asafa broke his own record at the IAAF
Grand Prix at Rieti, Italy on Sunday during a semi-final run
where he slowed during the last 5 meters. Asafa followed the
semi-final heat with an event winning time of 9.78 making his
performance the greatest double in the history of track and
field. What is more impressive is that Asafa stated he is
capable of running significantly quicker.
Asafa was clearly disappointed with the
Osaka race. “In Osaka, I was too tense,” Powell said. “I thought
too much about my race and the time I was hoping to achieve. On
the other hand I was very relaxed in coming here (Rieti). That
means I could run 9.68.” After setting a new world record, Asafa
has recovered his championship form. “I’ve been working on a few
things with my coach and correcting some things,” said Powell.
“I’d like to say to my fans that Asafa Powell is back.”
Asafa’s next major goal is to win gold at
the 2008 Beijing Olympics. "Next year my only goal is the
Olympics," the Jamaican sprinter said Monday, a day after
improving his time by three-hundredths of a second to 9.74 at
the Rieti Grand Prix. "I plan to race many more times before the
Olympics than I did this year."
Asafa appreciates how Nutrilite products
help him perform at his personal best. “When I run, I don’t
think about anyone else. I don’t think about my competition, I
just do what I have to do. Nutrilite is a lot like me that way,
because they don’t consider the competition in what they do,
they just focus on being the best in their field,” he says. “I
am confident that Double X and Nutrilite will help me power up
for the competitions yet to come.”
The Nutrilite Brand knows what it is like to be on top, and
understands the dedication it takes to remain there. Based on
2006 sales, Nutrilite is the World’s leading global brand of
vitamins, minerals and dietary supplements. Nutrilite has held
this leadership position for over 6 years. The Nutrilite brand’s
flagship product Double X is sold in over 28 countries around
the globe, through Quixtar and Amway independent business
owners.
