PARIS (AP) — The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee is giving its Paralympians an advantage long held by its Olympians: a training facility of their own.
For the first time, the U.S. High Performance Facility is staying open through the Paralympic games at a multisport facility in the Paris suburbs.
Athletes say that having a space they can call their own makes training much easier, and that having the support facilities and staff they use back in the States allows them to focus on their competition.
The facility will return to local ownership with $29 million in renovations by USOPC.
