Escuela Del Albergue Olímpico: ¿Opción Viable Para El Atleta Puertorriqueño?,Proponen La “Ruta Del Deporte Extremo”,Culs
Escuela del Albergue Olímpico: ¿Opción viable para el atleta puertorriqueño? La primera medalla de oro de Puerto Rico en unos Juegos Olímpicos, obtenida por la tenista Mónica Puig, provocó una gran sed de victoria entre otros deportistas y aumentó el deseo de los jóvenes en lograr colgarse las próximas medallas para la isla. Así como Puig, muchos buscan traerle gloria al país, pero para esto es necesaria una gran preparación, tanto mental como física. La decisión de qué tipo de entrenamiento escoger, si uno privado e independiente como la tenista, o uno a través de la Escuela Especializada en Deportes del Albergue Olímpico de Puerto Rico, puede ser la clave para lograr ese éxito que tanto se anhela. Tomando en cuenta el aspecto económico, la salud emocional del deportista y otros aspectos de vital importancia, Caribbean Business entrevistó a varios de nuestros atletas puertorriqueños para conocer su opinión en cuanto a cuál es la mejor opción. “Elegí prepararme a través de la escuela del Albergue [Olímpico] para seguir progresando. Estar allí me ayudó mucho por los compañeros que uno tiene, uno se motiva y se ayuda mutuamente”, comentó el destacado pugilista del peso ligero Félix “Diamante” Verdejo. El invicto boxeador, quien fue estudiante de la Escuela Especializada, ostenta un récord de 22 victorias, 15 de ellas por “knockout” y siete por decisión. Verdejo ha representado a Puerto Rico en diferentes escenarios deportivos, incluyendo los Juegos Olímpicos Londres 2012, en el que llegó hasta los cuartos de final. Aparte del apoyo mencionado por Verdejo, el director técnico de la Escuela, Fernando Casablanca, enfatizó que otra gran ventaja para el deportista recae en el aspecto económico, pues la Escuela Especializada sufraga la totalidad de los gastos del atleta.

What People Say About Chiropractic
What people say about Chiropractic "I am very fortunate to have, so-to-speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. So, I visit Franco regularly, and he comes over to my house. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries he's always there for me, and helps me. So it's really terrific, and I know that first hand. That's why I always will be traveling around, all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers, and that's why it's really great to have you here, part of the Arnold Classic. Because, like I said, the Arnold Classic and Fitness Weekend are about health and about fitness and preventive care." Arnold Schwarzenegger "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal." Dan O'Brien Decathlon Gold Medallist Appearing in films like The Patriot and Braveheart has taken its toll on Mel Gibson. "You get hurt all the time. All you gotta do is just like eight takes of running down a hill and you twist an ankle," the action pic veteran tells TV Guide Online. "I got a chiropractor to come along to the [Patriot] shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within 15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles to South Carolina spend a week and work on the entire crew.

THE 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES 202 Carl Lewis Made Only a Cameo Appearance in the Long Jump
THE 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES 202 Carl Lewis made only a cameo appearance in the long jump. He raced down TRACK AND the runway once, leaped a couple of inches beyond 27 feet, far enough to qualify comfortably for the final, then left the Coliseum to rest on, and for, FIELD his laurels. Edwin Moses, a graduate of Morehouse University with a degree in physics, settled for a costarring role in the 400-meter hurdles. He did the physical work. He won the event for the 105th straight time, a flawless victory that was never in doubt; he broke 48 seconds for the 28th time, a feat the rest of the world had accomplished only five times; and he ran only a tenth of a second slower than he ran in 1976 when, at the age of 20, he won the gold medal in Montreal. He joined Paavo Nurmi in history, the only runners to win the same individual Olympic event twice—eight years apart. Danny Harris, an American teenager, came in second, and Harald Schmid, a West German veteran, the last man to defeat Moses, in 1977, finished third. Moses costarred not with his rivals, but with his lovely West German wife, Myrella. She did the emotional work. As the race approached, and the tele- vision camera zoomed in on her, she displayed every nuance of feeling from anxiety to anguish. She cried. She trembled. She buried her face in her hands. Myrella knew, and she showed, much more than he did, how much the race meant to her husband.
