BLADE RUNNER

A year before the Olympic Winter Games in 2018, Vishwaraj Jadeja was training hard when he slammed into the ice. He didn’t think much of the pain, for the speed ice skater had training to attend to. A month later, he crashed again and, this time, he had cracked his patella, dislocated his ribs in two places and suffered tissue damage in his lower back, which put paid to his Olympic dream. He was away from competitive action for the next 18 months.
