Peking 2008
The XXIX Olympic Games will take place in Peking in 2008. As a Co-Partner of Germany, Bauerfeind supports the physicians and physical therapists with the medical care of the German teams and has developed a good working relationship with the Olympians and their coaches for future games. Like in Turin in 2006, the orthopedic technical service team will be on location to individually fit athletes with supports, insoles and compression stockings.
The Bauerfeind medical service team gained the needed experience at the Athen 2004 and games to optimally help support the athletes as they prepare for the summer games in Peking. In keeping with the saying “After the games is before the games” the Olympians are already preparing for the next Olympics.

It was busy at the Bauerfeind Service Station in the German House in Beijing until well after midnight on the last day of the Games. A number of athletes were taking advantage of their last chance to have their foot pressure measured or were picking up their orthopedic insoles. The team’s services were in greater demand this year than at any other Games.

Success is to run your own personal best, 21.08.2008
Sabrina Mockenhaupt couldn’t do anything to contribute to the Medals Table. The young athlete from Cologne during her second Olympic 10,000 metre race finished 13th. Even so it was the best run of her career since she ran her own personal best. „That was fantastic. I am very happy“ she said. Her roommate Antje Möldner experienced the same.

Early on Tuesday morning at 12:45 loud calls for Bauerfeind were heard coming from the garden outside the German headquarters. The team physician for the women’s handball team came running into the orthopedic service station to fetch the members of the supply team. “We need to get a rigid splint from you right away.” When asked who the athlete was, the answer was Waldemar Hartmann.

Unusual noises are emerging from Bauerfeind’s orthopedics service station: the clatter of a sewing machine is coming from room 307. Less than two hours were required by the supply team to prepare a special support for the damaged elbow of Nadine Haerdter, a member of Germany’s women’s handball team.
