Dublin-based physiotherapist Marie-Elaine Grant is one of a team of eight researchers that has raised concerns about the ‘extraordinary levels’ of ice being used in the summer Olympics.
Dr Grant, who runs a private clinic in Ireland’s capital and is an associate member of the Institute of Sport and Health at University College Dublin, co-wrote an opinion article that is published online today (26 July) in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The article appears in the run-up to the opening ceremony for the Paris 2024 Olympics, which takes place on Friday.
Dr Grant and an international team of healthcare professionals argue that the use of ice lacks a robust evidence base and suggest that the amount of energy and water needed to produce, store, and transport the ice is not good for the planet.
