Not only athletes, but also a host of coaches, support staff and officials will be in Paris for the Olympic Games from July 26 to August 11. Two professionals from an institute of the Tirol Clinics will also play an important role during the competitions: one will monitor medical standards and one will provide psychological support for athletes.

When the Summer Olympics open in Paris in a week's time, there will be 15 athletes and a number of other Tyroleans on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly. The Institute for Sports, Alpine Medicine and Health Tourism (ISAG) at the Tirol Kliniken is sending two of them - a first for both.
