Jaakko Tallus

Winter Olympics Gold Medalist

Jaakko Tallus is a gold medallist in Nordic combined, a sport that involves both ski jumping and cross country skiing. This demanding sport requires tremendous strength, endurance, and coordination, and Tallus trains year round to prepare for his events. In addition, he drinks TAHITIAN NONI™ Juice to ensure he keeps his edge when competing against the world’s best athletes.

“I started drinking TAHITIAN NONI Juice in the spring of 2006,” he explained. “At that time I did not know anything about this natural juice. After using it a couple of months, however, I noticed that the juice gave me energy and I can now train hard a couple of days in a row.

“In the early summer I started the hard training for this season. I have been training hard all summer, but still I feel remarkably fresh and energetic. The test results have been good and my muscles are in great shape.

“My goal for this year is to reach the absolute elite, to be among the best athletes in the world. I will continue to drink TAHITIAN NONI™ Juice on a regular basis and feel that I have better conditions to succeed than ever before.”

Tallus’s main goals include the World Championships in Sapporo 2007 and the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. With such an impressive track record—including a team gold medal and individual silver medal in the 2002 Winter Olympics—we cheer Tallus on as he works toward future successes!
