Anthony Famiglietti

Beijing Baby!!

With his dark beard and long hair, Anthony Famiglietti looked as if he'd stumbled into the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Olympic trials from the great north woods.

Really, he's just a 29-year-old guy from Medford, L.I., with indefatigable legs, a spiritual bent and some ethical uncertainty about the Olympic Games.

"The Olympics is not what it used to be," Famiglietti said Saturday, minutes after he won the trials with a wire-to-wire victory in 8 minutes, 20.24 seconds, a feat he celebrated by traipsing bare-footed through the Hayward Field stands, seemingly hugging half of Eugene. "It doesn't have that power anymore. A lot of people get caught up in the winning of the gold medal, the silver medal, the bronze medal, the money behind it, the fame behind it, and they lose sight of the competition. There's too much commercialism behind the whole thing."

Yes Sir!

Fam came out strong, looked great, hips, feet, legs and back.......the Myoskeletal Engine at work. Anthony Famiglietti, who has the fastest time in the U.S. this year, also posted the best time in the semifinals (8:25.27).

GO GET EM FAM!!!

Anthony Famiglietti races the 3000m steeple chase
tonight at 9:10 pm pacific. I have to say, Fam is one of
the most genuine professional athletes I work with while he is
here in Flagstaff, AZ doing Altitude Training.

High Road to the Olympics.......Geoffrey Bishop

Flagstaff, Arizona, sits atop the world, especially this year as we work our way nearer the 2008 Olympics in China. Many of the world’s fastest athletes utilize the hypoxic conditions of this high altitude city to produce more red blood cells in which to carry oxygen to their muscles. They train long and hard, get sore, get up, and do it all over again the next morning. Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment is the therapy of choice for many training Olympians this year, and I’m honored to play a small part in their success.

Summertime

Summer is off to a great start! Congrats to the Canada crew on making the Canadian Olympic Triathlon Team!


Vancouver (TC) – Two-time Olympian and 2000 gold medallist Simon Whitfield of Victoria will be joined in Beijing by first-time Olympians and fellow National Team Teck Cominco members Paul Tichelaar of Edmonton, and Colin Jenkins of Hamilton, Ont., for the 2008 Olympic Games.

Whitfield qualified for the team based on 2007 results of a top-8 finish at both a World Cup event and the World Championships, while Tichelaar and Jenkins were nominated to the team for submission to the Canadian Olympic Committee late Sunday night by Triathlon Canada’s selection committee.

“Our men’s team in Beijing will be among the strongest of any country,” said Triathlon Canada’s Executive Director Alan Trivett. “The addition of Jenkins and Tichelaar adds the opportunity to race as a team with Whitfield; however Tichelaar has been very consistent on the World Cup Circuit over the past year and is equally capable of producing a top result for Canada on his own.”

Run Fast

Notice the difference between first, second and third effort of hip extension......the first is limited, the second is not bad after some hip flexor stretches and the third is pretty darn good and clear after having done muscle spindle work for G.MAX. THIS IS MYOSKELETAL......
