Not only will the U.S. Olympic
Festival bring outstanding sport
ing events to North Carolina, but
it also brings expertise in sports
medicine and science. The USOF
Congress on Sports Medicine and
Science, which began July 10 and
ends July 15, is the first of its kind
in the U.S.
UNC, Duke University, the
U.S. Olympic Committee and
N.C. Amateur Sports are co
hosting the congress. Burroughs
Wellcome, a major patron of the
Festival, gave a $50,000 educa

Sports Medicine and Science to
foster the best performance of its
athletes.
"After the Los Angeles Olym

to an inter-disciplinary approach
to looking at the athlete," said
Charles Dillman, director of
sports sciences at the USOC.
This summer's congress is an
outgrowth of this commitment to
a better approach to athletic injury
care and prevention. Authorities
from around the world includ
