That World leader and third fastest of all-time David Oliver won the IAAF / VTB Bank Continental Cup here in Split was hardly a surprise. Undefeated in all of his 17 races in 2010, Oliver didn’t have any solid challenger on paper and as it turned out he didn’t have any on the track either.

RIVALUS is pleased to announce that Golf Long Drive Champion, Jamie Sadlowski is now a Team RIVALUS Athlete. Jamie relies on RIVALUS brand products because they are powerful, effective & safe.
“Golf is the one sport I have not played much of nor done well at; however, anyone that has played with me can tell you that I love to ‘smack’ it off the tee and typically without concern about the direction of the ball. As a scientist, I appreciate the mechanics of the swing and skill involved in driving the ball a long distance and in the correct direction. Watching Jamie move effortless through his swing and ‘crank’ the ball so far is both amazing and exciting. RIVALUS is happy to have Jamie Sadlowski as a Team RIVALUS Athlete and we look forward to seeing his drive distance grow as a result of his rigorous training regimen and the use of RIVALUS brand products.” –Dr Darren Burke, CEO & Founder RIVALUS Inc.
