apron to hospital

After several minutes, healthcare professionals with a sledge and drove Norendal out of course.

National coach Thomas Harstad confirms to NRK that Norendal is taken to hospital. He says the 22-year-old has broken his arm, and they now make tests partly on her back.

– We test for everything, says Harstad, who woke up to the bad news from South Korea.

– This is obviously awesome sin, it is terribly bad timing. It is a violation, and it is not usually back on snowboarding for six weeks – although it should be a very nicely cut, says the trainer.

Mister X Games

X Games in Oslo starts this week, and right afterwards should Norendal run the US Open in Vale Mountain.

– X Games breaks, everything breaks, says Harstad NRK.

just back from injury

Before the competitions in South Korea was Norendal revenge. On his Instagram account reviewing her course as challenging.
