Olympic Medicine

If you are like me, you love the Olympics. Winter or Summer, it doesn’t matter. Watching the best of the best athletes from around the world in so many different sports is just incredible. My wife and I are partial to the track and field events, but our TV rarely has anything else on but the Olympics during its run. Since the 2024 Olympics in Paris are here, I thought it would be interesting to talk about Olympic medicine with a pediatric sports medicine physician who served as an Olympic team physician.
