Thanks for all the support, I will fight to return. The last thing I saw before the operation was the victory of my teammate Sebastian Foss-Solevaag (winner in the slalom of Flachau, ed). My motivation is now stronger than ever ”. Have a good trip champion, everyone awaits you in the year of the Beijing Olympic Games.
