Aisuluu Tynybekova: Genumedi knee brace at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

The Kyrgyz wrestler receives the bronze medal and demonstrates the power of proper support in winning the Olympics

On the global stage of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Kyrgyzstan's Aisuluu Tynybekova shone by winning the bronze medal in the freestyle wrestling discipline up to 62kg. This achievement is a testament to her skill and determination, but also an example of how the right equipment can make a difference to the performance of an elite athlete.

Tynybekova, known for her refined technique and physical strength, faced some of the fiercest competitors in the world on her way to the podium. What many spectators may not have noticed is the crucial role that a sports orthosis played in her Olympic journey.

The Kyrgyz wrestler used an elastic knee brace to centralise her kneecap, the Genumedi, available from DrArtus. This type of support is essential in a sport like wrestling, where the joints, especially the knees, are subjected to extreme pressure and constant sudden movements.

Genumedi, a high-performance elastic knee brace, offers significant benefits that may have been crucial to Tynybekova's success:

  1. Centralisation of the kneecap: Essential for maintaining stability during fast and unpredictable movements in a fight.
  2. Improved blood circulation: The silicone ring in the kneecap accelerates the resorption of oedema, which is crucial for rapid recovery between fights.
  3. Strengthening muscle support: Improves proprioception, allowing the athlete to have greater awareness and control of her movements.
  4. Superior comfort: The Comfort Zone in the popliteal area and medi Soft Edge technology guarantee comfort even during long periods of intense use.
