– I fell into Silvio and broke my back. It took a while before I recovered again, but now she is “well” and she is very good. I’ve had some breakouts and injuries, so it’s just a matter of being patient. If you hurt when you intend to drive or compete, it can take away a lot of focus, Sebastian Schjerf told Dagbladet.
Unfortunately, injury problems are nothing new to Schjerve. Just two years before Christmas, he fell and broke his femoral neck ahead of the World Cup. Thus, he had to spend a lot of his coming time in a hospital in Beijing.
– It was a difficult period, but I try not to think about it too much, he says.
In February, the Olympics will be held in Beijing and the free runners will head to the same arena where Scherf broke his femur. Schjerve, Ulrik Samnøy or Tormod Frostad will be the ones to run away with the last Olympic position.
– There will be two competitions before the Olympics and it can quickly affect the selection. Schjerve says my goal is to drive a lot at Christmas and do well in competitions.
