EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - BiPro USA on Monday announced that it is the official protein supplement of the USA Synchronized Swimming team. USA Synchro is preparing for the Olympic qualification tournament in March and uses BiPro whey protein isolate to refuel after workouts.
"We use BiPro for recovery after practice and definitely during practice to keep our athletes going. We also use BiPro when our athletes travel, to make sure they get the right nutrients when they're traveling," stated Myriam Glez, USA Synchro's high-performance director.
USA Synchro placed 11th in the duet event at the 2012 summer Olympics. The team placed 5th in the 2008 games and took a bronze medal home in 2004.
"We are very excited that USA Synchro values our products and will exclusively use them over other protein supplements," said BiPro USA marketing manager Aimee Krengel. "This is yet another example that BiPro is the perfect whey protein for everyone."
BiPro USA is the consumer division of Davisco, a business unit of Agropur.
USA Synchro was established as a nonprofit organization in 1977 and is the United States' national governing body for the sport, recognized by the International Olympic Committee, the United States Olympic Committee and FINA — the international governing federation.
