THE ARNOLD SPORTS FESTIVAL:
The next Arnold Sports Festival will have approximately 18,500 plus athletes. The vast majority of these will be at the Convention Center, Battelle Hall and Nationwide auditorium (The Arnold Expo) with a small but professional cadre at Vets Memorial (The Arnold Classic). Both The Arnold Expo and The Arnold Classic fall under the auspices of The Arnold Fitness Weekend.
THE MEDICAL TEAM: There has been much preparation to assure that the athletes and staff will have a great time and stay safe. Though every precaution has been taken it is a reality that there will be injuries amongst these intense top performers and the medical team will be there to assist them. HAM operators, physicians, medical students, nurses, medical assistants, medics, administrative people and Boy Scouts from the area, especially Troop 843, will be there in force. These individuals make up the medical team and are COMPLETELY volunteer. Approximately 250 such volunteers will work about 1500 man-woman hours in an attempt to prevent injury and assist if injury occurs. We owe them a debt of gratitude! MedCorp Inc. plays a key role in assisting the medical team supplying us with personnel and medic vehicles, advanced cardiac life support equipment, medical supplies, radios and performs hospital transports when needed. We are grateful for their participation. |
