Rome, July 17 (LaPresse) – Alex Schwazer, Olympic gold medalist in race walking at Beijing 2008, is expanding his career as a personal trainer by becoming a performance consultant for the South Tyrol football team. The Serie B club, aiming for promotion, will benefit from Schwazer's expertise as he analyzes the players' athletic data. Having recently started a new chapter in sports as a coach for professional athletes and footballers, Schwazer continues to reinvent himself after his long doping saga and the end of his dream to compete at the Paris Olympics. The former Italian racewalker has also returned to competing at the Masters level.
