Brian Knutson has been busy.
As the director of food and nutrition services for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, he is responsible for orchestrating the sprawling operation that will help feed Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics – ensuring that athletes will continue to have access to their favorite foods even as they prepare to compete halfway around the world.
For more than a year, Knutson and his team have been coordinating with Team USA dieticians, working with local vendors and laying the groundwork for the dining operation at the USOPC's High Performance Center at the Okura Sports Park in Setagaya City, Japan, which will serve as a local training hub around the Games.
