Obiena, Tsukii get boost in Tokyo Olympic bids
THEIR Olympic bids may have been sidetracked with the decision to postpone the Tokyo Summer Games to next year because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), still national athletes EJ Obiena (pole vault) and Junna Tsukii (karate) have their quest firmly on sight, aided by aminoVital.
Ajinomoto’s newest sports nutrition brand, aminoVital is rallying behind Olympic-bound Obiena and hopeful Tsukii to see their respective Olympic quests through, providing them with both motivation and power.
“aminoVITAL has helped me maintain my energy in training,” said Mr. Obiena, who was the first Filipino athlete to earn a ticket to the Tokyo Games.
“I train for four hours, and my energy just goes down. But with aminoVITAL, I take a sip at the start and middle of training and I’m full of energy until the end. It’s really helpful, and hopefully, everyone has the chance to try it out,” he added.
aminoVITAL is a jelly-based drink that contains 3,000mg of amino acids, including BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acid). Paired with proper diet, it can reduce fatigue and muscle loss during high-intensity training and strenuous physical activity.
It is the same effect the Ms. Tsukii is getting, sharing, “aminoVITAL has given me the strength to push myself when I train.”
The Filipino-Japanese karateka, a gold medallist in the 30th Southeast
Asian Games, had yet to secure a spot in the Games when the decision to postpone it was made but expressed her determination to do everything she can to achieve qualification in the remaining qualifying tournaments.
aminoVital underscored the need to encourage and support Filipino talent to see their true potential, something it is bent on continue doing with Mr. Obiena and Ms. Tsukii, and other athletes.
aminoVITAL is available on LazMart, an online store on LazMall, and selected Chris Sports branches for just P100 per pack. Simply consume aminoVITAL 30 minutes before any activity and allow yourself to reach heights of physical accomplishments. —
