So good news came from the hospital in Stavanger (Nor) where the athlete had been taken by helicopter after the serious accident suffered yesterday afternoon in the heating of Lysebotn Opp. A few minutes before the start of the race, Femling came in contact with a car and the stick literally punctured his calf. According to the testimonies of those who were present on the site, despite the gravity of the incident, the athlete could have gone even worse.
Yesterday evening, even before being operated, the athlete wanted to reassure friends and fans about his health conditions. "The trip to Norway ended even before I started - he wrote on Instagram - with a helicopter trip, I'm fine at the moment, even if the photos on the media do not seem to be there. soon!".
This morning the Swedish federation announced the success of the intervention: "They took the stick off the leg - Pichler said - now he sleeps but as soon as he wakes up we will contact him". It remains now to understand if the accident has also affected muscles or nerves. When the doctors will express themselves on this, the recovery times will be known.
