Day 9 of my Olympic audio interview series features a Port Hope chiropractor who has worked at six Olympic Games…Dr. Alban Merepeza.
In this interview, our discussion includes the athletes Dr. Merepeza has worked with, including track star Andre de Grasse, and the Games he has worked at – Beijing 2008, Vancouver 2010, London 2012, Sochi 2014, Rio 2016 and Pyeongchang 2018.
Listen to the interview here.
NOTE: While we wait for local sports to return following the COVID-19 pandemic, a big part of JG Sports Media’s website content will be audio interviews, like this one. Guests will include representatives from local sports organizations as well as other notable guests, many who have ties to this area and even some who don’t.
I love the Olympics and this series will run from July 24 until Aug. 9. This is the time the Games would have been on before they got postponed until 2021.

Our physiotherapist Sandor Jakab and Dr. Alban Merepeza are very proud to work with the Canadian National Team gymnast, Ana Padurariu. She is an immensely talented athlete who at the age of 16 on her first World Championships won a silver medal. It was quite an exciting event on the beam where Ana edged out the multiple World and Olympic champion, the American superstar, Simone Biles.
Dr. Merepeza had the distinct pleasure to be the keynote speaker with his friend, the great Canadian sprinter, Andre De Grasse. He enjoyed being on stage for the closing day as the last act of the convention with Andre talking about their experiences of working together.
