August 03 2011 - 6:30AM
GLG Life Tech Corporation (Nasdaq:GLGL) (TSX:GLG) ("GLG" or the
"Company"), the vertically-integrated leader in the agricultural
and commercial development of high quality stevia and all natural
and zero calorie food and beverage products, congratulates China's
national swim team on winning the second greatest number
of medals at this year's FINA World Championships, taking home 14
medals out of the 40 swimming finals. GLG also congratulates the
young swimming star Sun Yang on his performance at the 14th annual
FINA World Championships held in Shanghai. In addition to winning
the gold medal and breaking the world record in the 1500m freestyle
final, Sun also won the gold medal in the 800m freestyle, the
silver medal in the 400m freestyle, and a bronze medal with China's
4x200 relay team over the two weeks of competition.
Sun finally broke the long standing world record in the 1500m
freestyle set by Australia's Grant Hackett, back in the 2001 World
Championships. At 17 years of age, Sun Yang had already won
the bronze medal at the 2009 World Championships and took the gold
at the Asian Games in 2010. "I believe that winning the gold
medal will increase the attention that is focused on me," Sun
said. "I hope that it will also increase overall awareness of
exercise and healthy eating." Katzu Cheng, President of
AN0CTM points out, "Sun Yang is the perfect role model who shares
AN0C's vision for a healthier lifestyle for China."
GLG also congratulates Ye Shiwen in the Women's 200m individual
medley, Jiao Liuyang in the 200m butterfly, and Zhao Jing (the
current world-record holder in the 50m backstroke) in the women's
100m backstroke for their gold-medal winning
performances.
Dr. Luke Zhang, Chairman and CEO of both GLG Life Tech
Corporation and AN0C, stated, "Congratulations to the China
national swim team! We are very proud of Sun Yang and the
national swim team, and not only of their accomplishments over the
past few weeks, but also of all their hard work and dedication as
they prepare for the 2012 Olympics in London. AN0C is pleased
to be the exclusive ready-to-drink tea sponsor for the national
swim team, and is fortunate to be associated with such healthy
images."
At least three World or Olympics gold-medal winners from China
national swim team will be welcome participants in the upcoming
promotional activities for the company's AN0C line of products.
They will be featured in a TV commercial and a series of print
advertisements that will help to promote the healthier all-natural
zero calorie benefits the AN0C line of products offers
