"not bad."
Zhao Hongbo looked down at his left Achilles tendon.
The initial inflammation was treated relatively promptly, coupled with Lin Mu's superb physical therapy techniques.
Anyway, Zhao Hongbo has been in the national team for so many years.
I've never met a massage therapist with more experience than Lin Mu.
However, when I increase the intensity of my training recently, my Achilles tendon still experiences noticeable pain.
But compared to the beginning, it's already bearable, and he understands that it's unavoidable.
"By the way, these two are Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao, and these two are Pang Qing and Tong Jian."
Zhao Hongbo explained.
Lin Mu smiled and looked over, "Hello."
Looking at so many athletes on the field, and seeing his compatriots occupying a place, Lin Mu felt a surge of pride.
It would be even better if we could see the five-star red flag being raised on the podium.
"If you feel unwell, you can come to me."
Lin Mu added.
He is the medical director of the Paravila Stadium, and his job is to serve the athletes.
It doesn't count as giving special treatment.
He treats athletes from other countries with the same seriousness.
"Thank you, Dr. Lin."
The two pairs of partners said politely.
Lin Mu watched the six people go to warm up.
From a medical perspective, the graceful movements on the ice put a lot of pressure on the ligaments and joints.
But it is also full of endless charm.
That is the meaning of sports: to convey the beauty of speed, strength, and flexibility.
It also conveys the athletes' feelings.
......
The second day of the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
"Wood, Russian athlete Paleva was scheduled to undergo a urine test here during the recently concluded women's 15km individual biathlon event."
Franceschini walked over.
Lin Mu nodded.
As long as it is during the Winter Olympics.
No matter where the athlete is.
Both the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency have the right to conduct random testing without prior notice.
"I heard that a skier just tested positive for doping this morning?"
Lin Mu asked.
"Yes, the Olympic Organizing Committee expelled them directly, and all their results were cancelled."
Franceschini's expression was serious.
In Italy, the use of performance-enhancing drugs is a criminal offense, and the prosecution is required to file a case.
"Let's get it checked."
Lin Mu had previously informed the drug inspector that he needed to be present to ensure the procedures were compliant and transparent.
When Paileva was brought out by a same-sex drug inspector.
Lin Mu noticed that the other person's expression seemed a little off.
Scared?
Fear?
Although Paleva hid herself very well, Lin Mu still discovered her.
He couldn't help but become suspicious.
Could they have actually used performance-enhancing drugs?
soon.
After Paileva, the doping control officer, the IOC observer, and the representative of the International Biathlon Union all signed the inspection record.
The drug inspector handed the inspection record to Lin Mu. "Dr. Wood, you need to confirm the athlete's notification time, arrival time at the checkpoint, and verify the athlete's declared medication list for the past three days..."
The drug inspector uttered a series of words.
Lin Mu didn't dare to be careless and checked it several times.
He made sure everything was correct before signing his name.
After everyone had left.
"I feel like there's something wrong."
Lin Mu lowered his voice and spoke to Franceschini.
"I felt it too."
Franceschini was a shrewd person and noticed early on that Paleva was acting strangely.
We'll know the results tomorrow.
Lin Mu didn't have many thoughts either.
Anyway, Paleva isn't an athlete from her own country.
If she has a problem, then she has a problem.
Handle it as it should be handled.
The match at the Palavira Stadium continues.
He is on the entry list for the men's 1500m short track speed skating event.
Lin Mu saw his fellow countrymen.
Among them are Li Jiajun, who has already participated in four Winter Olympics, and Li Ye, a rising star in Chinese short track speed skating.
Tonight, the venue managed by the Forestry Institute will host the men's 1500-meter preliminary, semi-final, and final rounds, a total of three races.
Lin Mu stood at the medical station and looked into the field.
"Let's see if your compatriots can win a gold medal?"
Franceschini raised an eyebrow.
"I think there's a lot of hope."
Lin Mu, on the other hand, seemed quite confident.
The two were chatting when the competition began.
Li Ye, who was in the third group of the preliminaries, was the first to appear.
Having achieved numerous successes in various competitions last year, he came out unusually composed.
For the first half of the race, I stayed behind my opponent.
They rallied in the second half of the season and qualified as the top team in their group.
Veteran Li Jiajun skated fiercely, battling his opponent from start to finish, and ultimately advanced to the semifinals as the second-place finisher in his group.
In the semifinals, Li Jiajun chose the same tactic.
He and South Korean player Ahn Hyun-soo pulled ahead of the other players and both advanced to the finals.
Li Ye encountered some trouble.
Lin Mu didn't quite understand it.
But he also knew that temporary speed was not true speed.
really.
American star Apollo and Dutch athlete Jeffrey Mens, who were in the lead, kept switching positions.
In the last five laps.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.
Li Ye exerted his strength, suddenly accelerating and sprinting, and in the blink of an eye, he was in first place.
Apollo, who was relentlessly pursuing from behind, attempted to overtake on the bend.
As a result, the center of gravity became unstable when pushing off the ground.
Although he didn't fall, the other drivers behind him seized the opportunity to overtake him.
Lin Mu's eyelids suddenly twitched.
He saw Belgian player Gasser push Jeffrey Mens in the chaos.
The latter lost his balance and fell, hitting the barrier on the sidelines.
Lin Mu saw Jeffrey Mens extend his hand, signaling the medical team to come and lift the person, and he personally examined him.
"It's not a big problem."
Lin Mu gave Jeffrey Mens a quick treatment and then had an ambulance take him to the hospital.
Jeffrey Mens lay on the stretcher and looked back before being carried away.
He could only manage a wry smile when he saw that Gasser had been disqualified from second place for a foul.
Before the final.
Many national team athletes are using ice packs.
"Dr. Lin, could you please come over?"
Sun Da suddenly walked over.
Lin Mu shook his head. "Athletes have the right to go to the official medical clinic for treatment on their own, but they cannot monopolize the right to receive treatment."
"Then I'll call them over!"
Sun Da also realized that Lin Mu was not their team doctor.
Soon Li Ye and Li Jiajun came over.
Lin Mu examined it carefully.
Li Jiajun overexerted himself during the preliminary and semi-final rounds, resulting in acute strain of his quadriceps and hamstrings.
He also had a history of nephritis.
If Lin Mu's guess is correct, Li Jiajun is experiencing hematuria.
He asked about it.
Sure enough, in the early years, rehabilitation methods were relatively scarce, and his overtraining led to nephritis, from which he has not yet fully recovered.
Lin Mu sighed silently.
After confirming the location of the sore spots, he had the two fill out a medical form.
They then applied local cold compresses and loosened the soft tissues.
Previously, in order to treat Zhao Hongbo's Achilles tendon problem, his upgraded "calcaneal insertion release technique" and "fascia and tendon sheath release technique" came in handy again.
I also applied short track speed kinesiology tape to both of them.
Lin Mu instructed, "Pay attention to the five minutes of warm-up before the competition. It's best to warm up all your joints properly to reduce pressure on your ligaments."
Lin Mu had just seen the two off.
Canadian athlete Gamelin also came.
