BackgroundAcute muscle injuries in elite athletes are responsible for a large portion of time loss injuries.AimTo describe the frequency, the anatomic distribution, and severity of imaging-detected acute muscle injuries among athletes who competed in the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympics.MethodsWe recorded all sports injuries reported by the National Olympic Committee medical teams and the Organising Committee medical staff during the 2016 Summer Olympics. Imaging of acute muscle injuries was performed at the IOC’s polyclinic within the Olympic Village using ultrasound and 3.0 T and 1.5 T MRI scanners. The assessment of images was performed centrally by three musculoskeletal radiologists. The distribution of injuries by anatomic location and sports discipline and the severity of injuries were recorded.ResultsIn total, 11 274 athletes from 207 teams were included. A total of 1101 injuries were reported. Central review of radiological images revealed 81 acute muscle injuries in 77 athletes (66% male, mean age: 25.4 years, range 18–38 years). Athletics (track and field) athletes were the most commonly affected (n=39, 48%), followed by football players (n=9, 11%). The majority of injuries affected muscles from lower limbs (n=68, 84%), with the hamstring being the most commonly involved. Most injuries were grade 2 injuries according to the Peetrons classification (n=44, 54%), and we found 18 injuries exhibiting intramuscular tendon involvement on MRI.ConclusionImaging-detected acute muscle injuries during the 2016 Summer Olympics affected mainly thigh muscles in athletics disciplines.

As If

On 17 December 2016, I had the good fortune to see a video installation at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. Written, directed, and produced by Julian Rosefeldt, largely in and around Berlin, Manifesto staged thirteen scenarios—simultaneously looped on massive screens in the cavernous armory—in which extracts from nearly seventy avant-garde manifestos were performed by Cate Blanchett, featured in thirteen strikingly different roles. Her virtuosity redeployed even the most emphatic manifesto rhetoric into monologues that seem spontaneously uttered in a series of vivid locales, ranging from a cemetery to a fertilizer factory, a film studio, a drab apartment block, a former Olympic village, a puppet workshop, a recycling facility, and more. Blanchett, in effect, perpetuates the spirit of Fernando Pessoa, as if she were embodying heteronyms, not playing roles. ...
