Top Athletes: J|medical Brings Excellence in Sports Medicine to Allianz Stadium | OneFootball

On 2 and 3 October, Allianz Stadium hosted the second edition of “Top Athletes: Where Excellence Meets Evidence”, the International Congress promoted by J|medical, which brought together in Turin some of the leading Italian and international experts in the fields of sports medicine, rehabilitation and athletic performance.

For two days, the home of Juventus became a meeting point for doctors, physiotherapists, researchers, athletic trainers, performance professionals and nutrition specialists from leading sports, clinical and academic organisations, all united by the aim of sharing knowledge, scientific evidence and experience gained in elite sport.

The Congress opened with institutional remarks from Carlo Picco, General Director of ASL Città di Torino, Delio Scarano, CEO of J|medical, Giorgio Chiellini, Juventus Director of Football Strategy, and Stefano Cerrato, Juventus Managing Director Corporate & Finance. They welcomed the participants and highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary discussion in promoting the continuous development of medical and performance practices applied to sport.

Throughout the Congress, key topics relating to athlete health and performance were addressed, ranging from injury prevention and rehabilitation to nutrition, regenerative therapies and the decision-making processes involved in returning to competition. The extensive programme featured speakers from prestigious international institutions and sporting organisations.

One of the most eagerly anticipated moments of the event was the round-table discussion dedicated to the perspective of professional athletes. Among those taking part was Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli, alongside Australian Olympic high jump medallist Eleanor Patterson, sailor Enrico Voltolini and cycling champion Vincenzo Nibali. The athletes’ experiences highlighted how trust, communication and personalised pathways are becoming increasingly important in supporting a successful return to performance, reinforcing one of the key themes to emerge throughout the Congress.

With this second edition of “Top Athletes”, held with the support of UniCredit as main sponsor, J|medical continues its commitment to promoting research, education and the sharing of best medical and scientific practices, while Allianz Stadium once again proves itself to be a venue capable of hosting not only major sporting events, but also opportunities for discussion and development for the entire sporting community.
