Here's where the USFA does it right. On back to back World Cups, where there is a training camp in between, the USFA is sending a trainer along with the WS team. I'm assuming--but don't know--if this is the case for the other squads.
Thursday, Becca is riding through the San Francisco airport in a wheelchair, following an ankle sprain the night before, and there is some question whether she'll even fence in London.
Friday and Saturday, USFA trainer Lonnie Sellers is working hard to re-hab the ankle. Sunday, taped 20 ways from Sunday, she fences and wins.
Tip of the visor mask to Lonnie and his bucket of ice water torture therapy!
