Vaulting Pole Tips

Great news has just been released. Bryan Clay the 2008 Olympic gold medal Decathlon winner will be the next Wheaties Box Athlete, according to a report given in the Business Journal of Minneapolis, St. Paul.

In an earlier that post was made at Vaulting Pole Tips, Bryan Clay was spotlighted for his Decathlon gold medal victory. Why would Vaulting Pole Tips be so concerned with the Decathlon? Come on now, we all know that pole vaulting is part of the ten major track and field events that comprise the Decathlon, right?

General Mills Inc. has decided to issue a special edition commemorative Wheaties Box package honoring two of our US Olympic gold medalists. One of the honorees will be Nastia Liukin the gold medal winner in gymnastics and the other is our very own Bryan Clay.

“Having your picture on the Wheaties box is something all athletes strive for,” Clay says. “It’s a mark of distinction that says you’ve reached the pinnacle of your career. This is a very special honor for me”

Former Decathlon winner and Wheaties Spokesperson, Bruce Jenner stated, “Bryan’s performance in Beijing is certainly worthy of the Wheaties box. He’s a great athlete and a great competitor. I’m proud to welcome both Bryan and Nastia into the ‘Breakfast of Champions’ family.”

What did Wheaties themselves have to say? “There were many outstanding performances by American athletes over the past few weeks, and we applaud them for their efforts,” said Wheaties Marketing Manager Joe Driscoll. “Both Nastia and Bryan bring such dedication and commitment to their sports, and we’re so happy to welcome them both into the Wheaties family. They’re both terrific role models and represent the very best of the championship ideals that have made Wheaties ‘The Breakfast of Champions’ for more than 80 years.”

These commemorative Wheaties Boxes will be available in the beginning of September. Watch for Byran Clay, Olympic Decathlon winner when you are enjoying your Wheaties, or your “Breakfast of Champions”!
