The Norwegian ski jumper Thea Bjørseth has suffered a serious knee and arm injury and completed it from the upcoming Nordic Ski World Championships in Trondheim, Norway, which on Wednesday, February 26. The 21-year-old, a former junior world champion, suffered the injuries during her last jump at the World Cup in Ljubno. She had just set up a new Hill record of 97 meters (318 feet) and scored 129.7 points on her first jump and supported it with a great second jump with 94.5 meters (310 feet) when she fell. Bjørseth enjoyed a groundbreaking season on the World Cup racetrack in which she achieved the first top three World Cup results of her career. Despite her crash, the Norwegian still took third place.

In a social media contribution, Bjørseth revealed that she torn her ACL, PCL and MCL in autumn and at the same time falsified her elbow and suffered additional arm injuries. “I managed to get into a position that gave me opportunities to achieve what I worked for a long time,” she wrote. “There are only many emotions and a lot to process – the whole situation is just shit.”

Bjørseth had been ready to compete at the highest level, but now a long way to recovery. “I don't know when I will be back, but I understood that it will take time,” she wrote. “But I will do everything I can to come back strongly.”

The time of your return to the competition remains uncertain, but your determination to overcome this setback is clear.
