U.S. Track and Field is Winning Olympic Medals!

Now that I am in the Olympic village, I get to either work in the village clinic on the athletes, or go to the pre-competition warm up area and treat the athletes right before they compete. While not all US Track and Field competitors win metals, we are racking up metals and so far have about 20 metals in Track and Field. There are still four more days of competition. In 2008 track and field had 23 metals in total. Our goal is to bring in 30 metals for track and field at this Olympics, There is a lot of competition from the rest of the countries of the world. One of the fun things about being in the Olympic village is talking to athletes and staff from all around the world.
