- I actually feel really good, the way I went skiing at the end and how bad I was in Lenzerheide, I realized that this is not how I want to ski and it was a clear breaking point that I can not continue like this and when something is very clear to me so i am fine and now these injuries will heal. So then I can easily compare myself with them and make the best of them, ”says Stina Nilsson to SVT Sport.
"Will give it time"The healing period for the injury is stated to be for at least six weeks. This injury means that Stina Nilsson's goals for the season have changed.
- I definitely do not feel that the season is over completely but certain goals have changed, I have absolutely no ambition to place myself high in any total sprint world cup or total world cup because I lose too many competitions, she says and continues:
- I will give it time to heal, to compete half-injured again is nothing I want to do
After the Tour de Ski, Stina Nilsson has taken it easy, but now she will start the rehabilitation.
- I haven't practiced anything in a week, I thought yes would kick start the healing process. But tomorrow I will go into the gym and start rehab, strengthen the muscles around the ribs, ”she says.
