Milan Cortina Olympians wanted for the IOC Olympian Health Cohort

Do you want to help prevent injury and illness in elite athletes? Sign up to the IOC Olympian Health Cohort to improve our understanding of long-term athlete health.

The IOC Olympian Health Cohort is a long-term initiative designed to prevent injury, illness and other health and well-being issues among athletes.

Developed by the IOC and the University of Edinburgh, and led by three-time Olympian Dr Debbie Palmer, the study aims to develop targeted injury and illness prevention initiatives to benefit you and the wider athlete community.

We're looking for athletes who: 

  • competed at Milan Cortina 2026 or any previous Olympic games
  • are over 16 years old.

Your contribution to the study could help protect athlete health and wellbeing around the world.
