Moscow Therapist Bound For Olympics

Forget the skeletal structure. What really propels an Olympic athlete is muscle. And Paul Weston hopes to help in keeping those muscles pumping. Weston, a 56-year-old sports massage therapist at Gritman Medical Center in Moscow, will be leaving soon for London, his hometown and venue of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. “I grew up in South London. This is huge personally because my family is still there and I’ll be staying with my mother,” Weston said. “And from the professional point of view, I’ll be working with the best of the best.” That is, the best sports massage practitioners in the world, as well as the world’s most elite athletes/ David Johnson , Lewiston Tribune.
