RUSSIAN
WRESTLING SILVER MEDALIST
1996 Greco-Roman
Silver Medalist - A Mountain of a man at 6 feet 4 inches, 286
pounds, Matt is arguably one of the strongest men in the world.
In NEWAYS International and Ming
Gold he has found both a company and a product
to help him build even further on his strength. In epic gold medal
showdown in Atlanta against a Russian heavyweight who had never
in his life experienced defeat, Matt knew he could win, and was
determined to honor his country by bringing home the gold. As
the two titans faced off, spectators around the world fell silent,
anticipating a battle of historical significance. The intensity
of the explosive competition magnified with each passing moment
and it soon became apparent that the Olympians were evenly matched.
Deadlocked
at the end of regulation with overtime imminent, Matt knew that
another tie would not bring him the gold. A tiebreaker would favor
the Russian, The reigning world champion, so Matt would have to
defeat him outright. In the ensuing overtime battle Matt gave
his all, but a split-second lapse of concentration gave the Russian
an opening to score a single, deciding point. Matt clinched the
valuable silver medal.

"Athletic
Super Water is the newest advantage
any athlete can have. As a wrestler, I only have 30 seconds
between rounds to get rehydrated, and drinking oxygenated water
instead of regular water gives me the edge I need--the edge
I'm counting on to win the gold."
