Lorentzen fell badly on the way into the corner. Where lost Lorentzen balance then left skate was reduced error at high speed. There he met fuse pads in an unfortunate way, and the left skate made a long and deep gash on the right part, said the Norwegian Skating Association said in a statement.

Jafs like a cheese slicer

– I remember so far what happened. I, Hakon, Sverre and Jørgen were out on the course and should take some pace footwork. So I put the left skate into the first corner and there I must have stepped on something on the ice and lose grip. I get a lot more skråere line into the cushions around the ice and when I end in pads hits the left skate leg, says Lorentzen to TV 2.

– The skate must have taken a gulp like a cheese grater. I got help right away and was rushed to hospital where I received treatment continues skater.

When the incident had occurred did Lorentzen treatment of the support before he was rushed to hospital. There he will lie to over the weekend.

– Yes, the doctors considered it slightly back and forth, but there was anesthesia and surgery, explains Lorentzen phone.

Ute at least four weeks

– How is the condition now?

– The foot hurts a bit, but in the circumstances will be fine.

Now it will become part week rest for skater, but if everything goes according to plan it can become a comeback on the ice where the incident took place.

– I would think it takes a four weeks on the sidelines. There was no tendons or bones like smoke. Now starts the season in four weeks, so I’m betting on number three (Inzell) or fourth (Heerenveen) world cup races. If no deal is I’m back over Christmas, end skater.
