This technically won’t be the first Olympic Games for Christie-Lee Coad, a Thomas Jefferson High School product who earned her master’s degree in sports medicine at Pitt.
Now the co-head athletic trainer for USA Track & Field, Coad traveled to Tokyo in 2021, though the pandemic certainly altered the experience.
“I’m very excited to not spit in a tube every morning,” Coad said of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. “Tokyo was exciting because it was my first one. Obviously, it was different, but once we got there, it was still exciting to go through that.
“But definitely looking forward to a more normal Olympic Games this year.”
