Chris Bell - England Saxons & Sale Sharks RFC
 The Sale Sharks and England Saxons centre is a big advocate of OxyShot and never tales the field without having had a shot. Chris has had a mixed season this year but is aiming ti be in top form for the start of next season. Chris commented " I've not really hit any form like I did last year and broke my hand in november which didn't help. Oxyshot has been great though and I really can notice a huge difference when I use it to play. I'm about to have a shoulder operation which will put me out of a action for three months but I'll be fit for the start of next season, but I'm looking forward to a preseason with OxyShot to help me along".

James is arguably the best breaststroke swimmer this country has ever produced having won Gold medals at every major swimming championship except the Olympics which he is working hard to achieve in beijing and london. He has held and still holds European, Commonwealth and British records over both the 100m and 50m.
His career high was when he became the first Briton in 28 years to win a world title. He raced to the title in Barcelona 2003, in his favoured event the 50m Breaststroke.
James uses Sports Oxyshot as a training aid as well as for competitions and has enjoyed improved swim times and training sessions.

Using Oxyshot has enabled me to train harder and recover quicker and ulitmately achieve good results both in and out of the pool".

Despite finishing out of the medal positions James is progressing well for his goal of Olympic qualifiaction and ulitmately that elusive Gold medal. Andrea Whitcombe - GB and Olympian Triathlete

Andrea was the first of our Ambassadors to try out the new Oxyshot sachets whist in competition at the London Triathlon and she was very impressed with the results "The sachets are really good. I taped two to my bike and took one at the beginning of the cycle and one at the end. They were easy to open and no spillage. I usually take a powerbar gel on the bike but used these instead".
