Cadel is also a two-time runner-up in the Tour de France. You can follow his progress on his <a href="http://www.cadelevans.com.au">website</a>. A triple Olympic cyclist, Cadel has taken a committed step towards an elusive first Tour de France victory by joining forces with Winners Sports Nutrition. The two-time runner-up in the great race will use ‘new’ Winners – Cadel’s Mountain Mix Sustained Energy bars as a major part of his nutritional plan in training and racing in the coming seasons. So determined is the 31-year-old to go one step better than he did in 2007 and 2008, Evans looked at every single aspect of his performance over the last two seasons and decided that a partnership with a sports food company could greatly help his bid to claim cycling’s most coveted title. “The right sort of nutrition and energy replacement is important for anyone that is active and in my sport it can be the difference between winning and losing,” Evans said. “Each year I look at ways to improve performance and certainly nutrition is one of those areas. I am confident these new Winners – Cadel’s Mountain Mix Sustained Energy bars can help me compete and train at a higher level. One of the good things about Winners bars are they are not just for elite athletes but can provide that sustained energy boost that any active person needs. They have all natural ingredients, are low fat and low GI too which is important to me too.” As well as using the new energy bar that will carry his name, Evans will work with Winners Sports Nutrition in the future to develop products that can further assist in improving performance. “I am always looking to learn more about areas that can assist me to refuel my energy systems in training and racing and Winners is that sort of company,” he said. “I am looking forward to the prospect of being involved in any developmental projects that can assist both Winners Sports Nutrition and my cycling.” Winners Sports Nutrition Director Robert Boyd said the 100% Australian Owned company was honoured that Evans had put his name to one of their products but said the union was much more than just an endorsement deal. “In developing products for this market, we did a lot of research about cycling at the elite level and the thing that struck us was the physical demands that face an elite Tour cyclist like Cadel.” Boyd said. “These athletes race over 150 or 200km, they regularly climb mountains higher than any mountain in Australia and the amount of calories they need to consume to fuel their sport is incredible. Cadel has proven himself as a world-class performer, and we believe we can help him improve as an athlete, while his knowledge and insights will be invaluable in our development of world-class products for all active people. This relationship is definitely a two-way street. The basis of a healthy life is good food and plenty of exercise and the pairing of Winners – Cadel’s Mountain Mix Sustained Energy bars and Cadel Evans is certainly that.” Winners – Cadel’s Mountain Mix Sustained Energy bars combine natural ingredients such as oats, rice, nuts and grains to provide long-lasting energy to enjoy your favourite activity longer. The Winners Sports Nutrition range including Cadel’s Mountain Mix Sustained Energy bars can be found at Coles, Woolworths and many gyms, cycling shops and health food outlets. <h2>Michael Klim</h2> <a href="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0032/8902/files/michaelrelief.png?1246521640" rel="lightbox-michael" title="Michael Klim" /><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0032/8902/files/michaelrelief200.png?1246536257" alt="Michael Klim" /><a href="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0032/8902/files/michaelwithcycle.png?1246625386" rel="lightbox-michael" title="Michael Klim with a Sustained Energy Bar" /></a> Multiple Olympic and World Champion Michael Klim and Winners Sports Nutrition began their relationship in 2007. “With 20g protein, Winners Gym is a great tasting way to maximise the benefits of your workout.” - Michael Klim Named Australian Swimming Rookie of the Year in 1995, Klim won a bronze medal at the Atlanta Olympics. His star continued to rise in 1997 when he took the World Record in the 100-metre butterfly on the way to being named World wimmer of the Year. At the 1998 FINA World Championships in Perth, Klim’s record haul of seven medals in seven events including four gold rates as one of the most outstanding performances by an Australian at an international swim meet. The 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur saw Michael exert his dominance, winning seven medals including four gold once again. Michael was one of the undisputed stars of the Sydney Olympic Games with two gold and two silver. He was instrumental in the Australians’ thrilling 4×100m relay victory, unleashing a world record lead off swim to win his first gold on the first night. Michael later helped smash the world record in the 4×200m relay to win his second gold. Back in the pool in 2001 at the FINA World Championships, Michael showed he had not lost his golden touch, winning two gold medals and setting a world record in the 4×200m freestyle relay. An amazing effort for a man who only days earlier had seriously injured his ankle. His success continued at the Goodwill Games in Brisbane where he was part of the all-conquering Australian men’s swim team. Back surgery for a prolapsed disc ruled Michael out of the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Further surgery to his shoulder saw him sidelined through much of 2003. In a win for perseverance, Michael returned to the Australian team for the 2004 Athens Games. One of three triple Olympians in the squad, Michael won his sixth medal as part of the 4 × 200 Freestyle Relay. Michael’s return to the upper echelon of the sport became official at the 2005 World Championships in Montreal, with a bronze medal in the 4 × 100m freestyle. He continued his spectacular comeback at the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games where he won gold in the men’s 4×100m Medley Relay, silver in the 4×100m Freestyle Relay and 100m Butterfly and bronze in the 50m Butterfly. After a great career, Michael announced his retirement from the sport in June 2007 with his body unable to continue through to a fourth Olympic Games. Michael will now focus his energies on <a href="http://www.milkskincare.com/main.php#/home/">business</a> interests and guest speaking work and will also enjoy spending more time with wife Lindy, daughter Stella and son Rocco.
