USA’s training centre for Paris Olympics

Team USA are ready to settle in a small French town, far from the hustle and bustle of central Paris, when they set up their quarters at the revamped Athletica centre for this year’s Olympics.

Some 1,200 athletes and staff will use a state-of-the-art facility in Eaubonne, which has a population 25,000 and is 15km north of Paris, after the Athletica training centre’s renovation is completed in a few weeks.

“It’s really close to the athletes’ village, so it’s really convenient for our athletes to go back and forth,” Rocky Harris, chief of Sport and Athlete Services at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), told Reuters.

… features high-tech massage tables, cryotherapy units, physiotherapy rooms and about 100 bedrooms.
