The sort of stuff that would have to be trimmed to go in a paper magazine, if it got in at all. |

Amazing determination! Hats off to him for competing under those circumstance.
I do wonder how sensible it is to compete with such a bad injury... sometimes you should listen to your body. I would certainly advise anyone not to try and sail, or really compete when on painkillers. Edited by mozzy - 22 Jan 15 at 2:06pm |

Mark,
The personal insights type articles are a great idea - though it does involve the person actually having something to communicate and an interesting back story, which is where this one really scores. I guess many pro sailors, as with pros in any sport, can be so focused as to make interviews slightly one dimensional. |

" I tried hiking but quickly realised the pain was too much and settled for just sitting on the side."
There's hope for perchers everywhere! |

He works. Just one of the great things about being a really, really good sailor is that work turns into coaching Olympic hopefuls and the like.
