The 2018 injury on the home track is in the best moment of his career, but the Canadian downhill runner does not give up, think about the Beijing 2022 Games and celebrate the arrival of Toby James.

He had already talked about it before a season began that saw him having to work only between physiotherapy and gym, without being able to re-enter the white circus. "I want to get to the next Olympic Games."
Despite nine surgeries and a mangled leg, with fractured tibia and fibula during that damned test of the descent of Lake Louise, the first of the 2018/19 vintage, Manuel Osborne-Paradis does not give up and prepares for the great return to the Coppa del World right on the home track, next November. Thirty-six years old on February 8, the Canadian sprinter celebrated the arrival of his second son, little Toby James, a few days ago and is already looking ahead. "The goal is to return for the Lake Louise races."
The path is still long, also because there are no miles on skis and the situation related to Coronavirus does not help even in this sense, but one of the circuit veterans believes it and, 24 months later, will try to come back to find out if it will be the Osborne -Paradis who was doing so well before yet another injury.
