2012 Olympic Silver Medalist Dawn Harper Credits The FootMate System As One Of Her Secrets For Win

Aug. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- COMMERCE, CA -- August 8, 2012.   The FootMate™ System by Gordon Brush is proud to announce that their company sponsored Olympian, Dawn Harper, used the FootMate System to catapult herself to a Silver Medal in the 100M hurdles at 2012 Olympic Games in London, England yesterday. Harper's win marks the first major victory for the FootMate System by an Olympic athlete.  
 
Gordon Brush jumped at the chance to sponsor Ms. Harper for this year's event in London when they learned that Ms. Harper credits her regular use of the FootMate System for improving her track performance. Harper narrowly missed gold by two one-hundredths of a second. Her time of 12.37 seconds was a personal best. "The FootMate people stood behind me and really helped me out," Harper said in a post-race interview.

"As an athlete, my feet take a constant beating causing foot issues that have affected my preparation and training," Ms. Harper said. "Using the FootMate System allows me to take care of my feet so that these problems do not occur. In between and immediately after heats, I use the FootMate System to relax my feet so that my feet and legs do not cramp. After my day of racing, I use it in the shower to clean and massage my feet." Ms. Harper added, "Proper foot health is important for an athlete as foot fungus, dry, cracked skin, and odors can affect performance. The FootMate System has helped solve these issues for me and was instrumental in my winning the silver medal."

"Gordon Brush is honored that the FootMate System is a major part of Dawn's preparation and significantly contributed to her racing success. We congratulate her in winning the Silver Medal in the 100M hurdles at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. "What an inspiring opportunity for Gordon Brush to support an American Athlete", said Ken Rakusin, the company's president and CEO.  

Prior to leaving for London, Ms. Harper was interviewed by seven year-old Harmony Love Bailey,  on how the FootMate System "was the key to having healthy feet and knees...having the
FootMate System changed my whole program and my training hasn't had any issues being on the track day in and day out."
