Cross-country skier Anders Aukland had Tuesday will be retrieved by helicopter when he suffered two fractures in the leg during a hike in Jotunheimen.

– Anders and Jorgen (Aukland) was out in the mountains to make a report with the experienced randonee practitioner Nils Nilsen, when Anders was unfortunate in a turn, got a shift and fell. It was maximum bad luck, says Team Santander manager Nils Marius Otterstad Aftenposten.

NRK describes brother Jorgen Aukland episode as follows:

– We were out skiing and to take some pictures. So we drove down a gentle, nice ground, really. Anders was unfortunate and wrong face. He said once that he got hurt, and it turned out that there were two fractures in the ankle. Boring, he said.

– leg went straight out

42-year Aukland has incurred two breaks in the bone.

– The leg went straight off, said he brother.

Attempts to get a scooter to the area in Jotunheimen failed. Therefore we had to finish a helicopter pick Oseberg athlete.

Aukland was sent straight to Lillehammer for investigations. Currently he lies in Bærum hospital for further investigations and operations.

– He’ll bet on

Anders Aukland fills 43 September, but Nils Marius Otterstad do not think we’ve seen lately of him as cross country skier.

– He should be allowed to assess this themselves, but we discussed this yesterday and he is quite clear about what he wants to do. That would have been natural to believe that he would calm down, but I’ve got the signal that he wants to bet on, say Otterstad.

– The here compels him to think differently. It opens his eyes to train better and more efficiently. And that’s what drives him, says Team Santander boss.

Also Jorgen Aukland feel sure big brother continues.

– Yes, we talked about it. Anders was very clear that this was the last thing he has done on skis. He was very excited about doing the job that needs to, and looked at it as a challenge to be able to come back in good shape for the winter, said Jorgen Aukland, who thinks his brother has a good time, says Jorgen Aukland NRK.
