AOC Chief Executive Officer Matt Carroll said providing the right performance support was a critical ingredient in giving the Australian Team an edge in Paris.
“Every one percent helps. The fact that we can provide our athletes with a customised in-house gymnasium within our allotment in the Paris Olympic Village is a major advantage. State of the art equipment located within the team environment is incredibly convenient for our athletes," Mr Carroll said.
