The three winter athletes will represent USANA on the global stage as they prepare for the impending Winter Games.

“More than 600 world-class athletes trust their health and careers to USANA’s NSF and HFL-tested nutritional products, and more than half of them are involved in winter sports,” said USANA Chief Communications Officer Dan Macuga. “We are honored to sponsor these professionals and wish them the very best as the prepare to compete for the highest honors, in their respective sports and for their respective countries, this February.”

Hendrickson has won a U.S. title, a World Championship gold medal and a World Cup globe all before the age of twenty.

Vancouver gold medalist Mikkelson is also a five-time IIHF Women’s World Championships medalist, with one gold and four silver honors. With less than four months to prepare mentally and physically for Sochi, the defensive player now has her eyes set on repeating her gold status during what will be the largest Winter Games to date.

“USANA offers athletes safe and effective supplements that are essential in sustaining energy levels and overall health and wellness, and with their support I believe I can reach my goals on the international stage,” said Mikkelson.

31-year-old speedskater Jayner also holds more than 20 World Cup medals, is a four-time World Championship medalist and the only male short track athlete to medal in all four Olympic distances in one World Cup season.
