Track & Field News: 2-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Felix Sanchez Joins the Oxygen Factor Team of Athletes

2-Time Olympic Gold Medalist joins the Oxygen Factor Team of Elite Athletes through the 2016 Rio Olympics!

2014-04-24

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, April 24, 2014 (Press-News.org) Oxygen Factor, the leading brand in portable Sports Oxygen, recently signed 2-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Felix Sanchez as a Sponsored Athlete through the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Sanchez is arguably the most dominant athlete to ever compete in the 400m Hurdles, winning two World Championships in addition to his 2 Olympic Gold Medals, the latest of which came at the age of 34.

According to Sanchez, "I started adding supplemental oxygen to my training at the beginning of the 2012 season and it changed everything for me. That year, I went on to break the indoor World Record twice in a row, and then went on to win the Olympic Gold running the same time I did when I won it at age 24." Sanchez also went on to say, "Oxygen Factor is a game changer for me, and as long as I am using it, I truly feel I can compete at the highest possible level in my event."

Oxygen Factor offers portable canisters of 95% pure recreational breathing oxygen. The product allows an athlete to flood their muscles with supplemental oxygen prior to intense exertion, improving power, endurance and recovery. Since supplemental oxygen is not banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, it can be used with confidence in training and competition by athletes who are tested for performance enhancing substances.
