Weightlifter Mary Theisen-Lappen took instruction from her coach inside a training room with other American weightlifters.

Kirwand said upwards of 200 athletes come through the facility every day for food, training, conditioning or recovery.-- a native of Wilmington, Delaware -- who said she and her teammates couldn't believe U.S. athletes had the huge facility all to themselves. A private training complex is not unique to the U.S. committee, but"I'd like to think that we have the best,” Kirwan said, “but certainly other nations do it.”Mike Gattone, head weightlifting coach with Team USA, said one advantage is that athletes have somewhere to train outside of the Olympic village, where there are set times to practice and sessions are limited to 90 minutes.They can also bring in the athletes' own personal trainers, a luxury not enjoyed at the village.
