The young Bavarian skier
Sophia Arzberger
, unknown to the general public, after a series of
foot surgeries
, has launched a fund campaign with which she hopes to raise at least 45,000 euros with the aim of winning the overall ski world cup.
"
You are my last chance to realize my big dream
" is the title of
crowdfunding
.
21-year-old Arzberger
tore her ankle ligaments
during an exercise in the gym in September two years ago.
After a
first surgery
, the recovery should have come in six weeks, but the pains and after-effects of the injury remained even when the skier was forced to undergo a
new operation
, eight months later.
Last August the third operation
.
"Four weeks after my third and last ankle operation,
I am more motivated than ever
, my big goal is
to win the absolute World Cup
. I will give everything to reach this milestone, because
I do not give up so easily
. In recent years,
I have proven time and again how ambitious
and focused on goals I am. I will be back skiing better and stronger than ever. Because the comeback is always stronger than the setback ", wrote the young skier on her website.
To achieve this - Sophia continues on her page -
I need professional rehabilitation and intensive training
.
However, this is associated with very high costs and I don't get any support from the German Ski Federation.
That's why
I need your support!
The trophy of the Sophia Arzberger Ski World Cup may not win but surely the one of determination has already won.
