Here is a very unique opportunity to advertise your Twitter name on an Olympian during the 2012 season. I was a member of the 2008 USA Olympic Track and Field Team and am currently ranked #1 in the United States and #6 in the world at 800 meters. I will wear a temporary tattoo of the Twitter name of the auction winner in every single competition I run in this year, 2012, on my left shoulder (see picture).*
My 2012 schedule is shaping up to look as follows (subject to change).
Feb. 18th Sydney Grand Prix
Mar. 3rd Melbourne Track Classic
May 5th Oregon Twilight
May TBD USATF High Performance Meet
June 6th Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, OR
June 26th-June30 USA Olympic Trials in Eugene, OR
Aug 20th Herculis, Monaco Diamond League
Sept. 6-9 2012 Olympic Games in London, United Kingdom
TBD Post-season events.
Should the winner of this auction be a corporation, I will wear its Twitter name on my left shoulder when allowed to do so by governing bodies and, after reviewing the quality of the corporation’s products, endorse them entirely provided my endorsement does not conflict with any of my current sponsors. (Nike and Melaleuca)
Along with this valuable advertising space (4.7 billion viewers during 2008 Olympic Games), I will tweet a message of support for the auction winner on the first of every month during 2012 from my personal Twitter account, @nsymm800, which currently has over 4500 followers.
A reserve price is set at $14.95 to cover the cost of having the temporary tattoos made.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your support of my career and happy bidding!

*Due to antiquated and crippling rules put in place by the IAAF, I will be forced to cover up the temporary tattoo with tape at all IAAF governed meetings. I will, however, have the tattoo on under the tape and will remove the tape as soon as the rules permit. In all interviews conducted before and after the event I will mention the sponsor’s Twitter name and why it has been covered during competition.
