Today was a show of strength and discipline. These gymnasts work so hard at practice it’s hard to believe their bodies don’t get beat up more. They fall, get back up, and do it again not even thinking that their previous slight misjudgment in hand or eye placement could’ve put them in the hospital! If you notice in the picture, the landing is a bit soft but imagine going head first into that pile…yes, pretty scary! When they disappear into that foam, I hold my breath until I see a hand pop out and then I know we’re ok until the next routine. These guys keep me on my toes!

The 6am flight was a little rough but my excitement trumped all the tiredness. The nerves didn’t actually hit until I entered the grounds and looked up to read “TEAM USA”. After getting settled into my “dorm room”, grabbing lunch at the smorgasbord of endless stations of food, I entered orientation. This is where I heard the news that over 400 athletes would start arriving tomorrow and there would only be 3 medical staff in the next week over-looking the village—I was one of them! 6 sports complexes, 1 sports med room and 3 sets of hands. I’m thinking I’m going to be busy!

On Aug. 30th, Dr. Magale is going to embark on a journey to the Olympic Training Center to treat the Olympians. Stay tuned on our blog to follow her through this journey and hear some amazing stories of athletes receiving chiropractic care to improve their performance and overall health!
