2) Thomas Wessinghage is OlympicDoc as JogDoc, but....

....JogDoc would be a real understatement: This man is a running machine!

Dr. Thomas Wessinghage, born in 1952, is orthopedic doctor and director of the reha-clinic at the town of Damp/Baltic Sea. He was a very successful sports-man: member of the olympic team Germany for four times, 1982 he was European Champion over 5000 m, in plus he was German champion for multiple times over different distances and held several German and European records, he is still holding 2 German records over 1500 m and 2000 m.
