Elofsson Skips Rest of Season!
I will be the first to admit I was wrong. I said Per Elofsson would
win races this season. Well... It sounds like he's going to skip the rest of the season. If he does, he won't win any races. Is it that these guys are so close to the edge that this kind of stuff can happen? Alsgaard, Svan, Wasberg and others have had problems during their careers.

As Mathias Fredriksson said some days ago, "we are all training at the edge and sometimes we cross it". Some just does more badly than others and have a harder time to come back. He also talked about when he overtrained his legs badly because of some upperbody injury, broken ribbs? -- Forward in all directions Janne G |

Jay Tegeder "Keep training, lycra never lies!" JT This is one of the things that struck me when reading `Endless Winter'. Bodensteiner always seemed to be coming down with some cold/flu/etc., training through it, or recovering from it. I have heard that this level of training acts as a stressor and has suppressive effects on the immune system. Chris |

Elofsson Skips Rest of Season!
As reported in English from http://www.fasterskier.com/news.php?id=730
(summary from other news on www.skidsport.com but swedish text), the problem seems to be an overtraining problem. But (I think) the real question is: why Per need to train so hardly to go overtrained? Don't forget his problem during last season: Eurosport commentator during a race 1 year ago, spoke about "mononucleosis" (in italian "mononucleosi", i don't know in English) an infection that cause fever, soar ...

If you start training to hard to soon after a real sickness then it is wery easy to overtrain. -- Forward in all directions Janne G |
