Team Gaspari Athletes
The start of this month saw a new signing by Team Gaspari – the group of athletes charged with promoting the sports and bodybuilding supplements manufacturer around the world. Gaspari Nutrition declared itself proud to announce the signing of Olympic Judo medalist and Strikeforce title contender “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey.
One of the greatest female judo champions in the world, Ronda comes from a sporting family, with three athletic sisters and a mother, Ann, who is also a decorated judo champ. She won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics – the first woman to do so since judo became an Olympic sport in 1992.
As a Strikeforce cage-fighting champ, Ronda has won all of her clashes, with the longest challenger lasting a mere 49 seconds! On March 3 she will be facing Miesha “Takedown” Tate for the Strikeforce 135lb title at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio. Afterwards, she will film a live telecast – her first appearance for Gaspari Nutrition at the Arnold Expo, following the fight screened live on Gaspari TV.
Gaspari’s vice-president of brand strategy and product development Daniel Pierce declared that “Ronda represents an elite class of athletes that have had the rare opportunity to compete at the highest levels of competition on the world stage.”
“Rarely is there such a blend of athletic mastery, functional strength, and beauty in one package. Ronda will be a true asset to Team Gaspari and an excellent representative for all hardcore female athletes around the world,” he added.
Ronda joins a roster of professional athletes promoting Gaspari’s bodybuilding supplements around the world, which includes UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and fellow rising MMA star “All American” Brian Stann. Last year, Gaspari also signed adult film actress-turned-entrepreneur Jenna Jameson, joining other figure and bikini athletes such as Jaime Baird, Felicia Romero, Ava Cowan and Krissy Chin.
