"I had several bad thoughts in recent months," said the 23 year-old Norwegian, in reference to the back problems that forced him to end up under the knife.
The athlete has regained confidence during rehabilitation, thanks to the work done in Olympiatoppen structures, but it is not certain that the problems are now completely behind: "There is a risk that the pain returns. I'll try not to think about during the races, but I'll have to check in upcoming releases how I feel. "
The criticality of the situation was confirmed by Arild Monsen, coach of Norwegian sprinter: "No joke. Speaking of nerves and makes you think back even to paralysis, and I think it un''idea that crossed the mind Sondre in the summer. For now though the treatments followed seem to have worked. "
For the season approaching, Fossli according Monsen will represent a "dark horse", an outsider, on which no particular expectations will weigh. The person concerned agrees, "Point to the races of the World Cup, but the first thing is to focus on being present. The internal competition is very fierce. "
