If it’s good enough for 16 Olympic medal winning athletes…

“Rio de Janeiro shifted to the top of the world for 17 amazing days this month, and standing tall at the largest Games in history were 37 Shaklee Pure Performance Team athletes, all of whom represented their sport, their countries, and the Shaklee Family with dignity and great performances we may never forget.

16 of those Shaklee athletes proudly walked away with medals, and virtually all of them have expressed the same sentiment: “All the hard work and sacrifices were worth it!”  The world watched in amazement as these and the nearly 11,000 other polished athletes put on a brilliant show that bespoke power, skill, speed, endurance, and no small amount of exuberance.  Simply put, these athletes were the greatest.

Here are the Pure Performance Team members who won medals in Rio:
