Winter Olympic Games 2010
In use by athletes from all over the world, 17.02.2010
The German House in Whistler was almost bursting at the seams last Tuesday. With two golds, Tatjana Hüfner (luge) and Magdalena Neuner (biathlon) ensured a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of media interest. Meanwhile, the work of the Bauerfeind teams in the polyclinics of the Olympic villages in Vancouver and Whistler continues.
Concentrated girlpower brought glittering success, with Natalie Geisenberger winning bronze in the luge while teammate Tatjana Hüfner carried off a sparkling gold - and she didn't want to let the medal out of her hands. "It's a great dream come true for me," said the 26-year-old delightedly. She has now been matched by Magdalena Neuner, who collected her first gold medal in the biathlon with the 10km pursuit. Just last Saturday she had been hoping to equal the silver she had won then. Berliner Jenny Wolf sprinted to silver in the 500m speed skating event.
Peak physical fitness is essential if the body is to withstand the demands of training and competition. The team physicians and physios are making full use of the orthotic service offered by Bauerfeind in the polyclinics for the preventative or therapeutic use of orthotic aids. The orthotists are available round the clock: one call is enough. They'll fit the products and even make modifications to the equipment. As a "Friend of the Games", Bauerfeind is now for the first time available for athletes from all over the world, so demand for its service has a definite international flavor. Products for the knee and back are in particularly frequent use. At the moment, Russian ski jumpers are being supplied with LumboTrain, while athletes from the French alpine skiing team have been given the VenoTrain sport compression stocking.
