Another operation on Emanuel Perathoner: the goal remains the Olympics

Before the first competition of the season, Perathoner suffered a complicated tibial plateau fracture at the beginning of the year, which was operated on the following day in Milan. The last few months, which were marked by further operations and daily physiotherapy sessions, were spent by the Laion native, who was brimming with joy, with his fiancée in Spain. “After the operation in January I couldn’t do anything for a long time, which was difficult. I'm glad that my last procedure on Tuesday, which lasted three hours, went well and I started the physiotherapy sessions the next day." The procedure carried out this week is the second this summer. In June, an arthroscopy revealed some details that needed to be adjusted, which in turn required a long operation. Training, physio, swimming sessions Physiotherapist and motivational speaker Igor Setuain and his fiancée Belen provide him with support. But not only: “I am strong, not a negative person who hides at home because that doesn’t help.” A clear and exemplary message to the sports world and beyond. The winter athlete trains extremely hard and doesn't miss a single exercise cycle every day. In addition, swimming and a variety of other training sessions are good for his body and mind. An open exchange is important to the top athlete and he is not afraid to report on different experiences. “I am strong, not a negative person who hides at home because that doesn’t help.” Top snowboarder Emanuel Perathoner Big sporting and private goals Emanuel Perathoner's ambitious main sporting goal remains the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing 2022, although he is aware that the first competitions must go smoothly and that he must also achieve the necessary performance in order to be able to take part. “The next few weeks will provide important information about my health, and then I'll see what happens next,” explains Perathoner, looking from day to day. For him, who has suffered numerous injury setbacks, performance is still a kind of success through which he manages to set goals for himself step by step. The snowboard crosser wants to travel back to Italy in about a month to take further steps for the future. The probably most important one had to be postponed again by a few months: At some point in 2022 it should be possible for Emanuel and his fiancée Belen to say yes.
