Bauerfeind at the 41st Medigames in Portugal

Main Partner at the World Health Games

The 41st Medigames began on Sunday July 3, 2022 at the Vila Real de Santo António Sports Center in Portugal. This year, Bauerfeind is the main partner of the World Sports Games for health care professionals who compete in disciplines such as football, volleyball, table tennis, tennis, swimming, triathlon, shooting, badminton, chess, and basketball.

In the Algarve-based sports complex, our experienced orthotists, similar to the Olympic Games, provide support to all participants, of which there are more than 1,200 from 40 countries, treating them with our supports, orthoses, compression stockings, and foot orthoses in the event of injuries as well as for chronic conditions.

Bauerfeind will be on-site with an international team until the finals of the sports event on July 10, 2022. This includes colleagues from the Bauerfeind Academy as well as from the International Sales, Measurement Technology, and Bauerfeind Sports departments, the subsidiary Bauerfeind Ibérica as well as distributors from Finland and Portugal.

Relieved that all of the 700+ Bauerfeind products and numerous marketing materials arrived on time: Jörg Gleißner from Logistics (center), Fanny Walther, Trade Shows, Conventions, and Events (left), and Anne Weiß, International Sales (right).

Our team at the start of the Medigames at the Vila Real de Santo António Sports Center: Kristin John, Mattis Hohmann, Peter Karlsson (Finland), Marko Goula, Paula Paiva (both from Portugal), Dirk Schwager, and Anne Weiß.

Injured athletes are not just treated by our colleagues at our station in the sports center but also directly on-site.

The opening parade on Monday truly caused goose bumps. Our colleagues represented the company with a Bauerfeind flag.

Dirk and Peter also treated Kyrgyzstan’s football team.
