Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A very long recovery
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Caroline Espiau, a ski jumper who blew her knee in 2013 a few months before the Sotchi Olympics is finally fighting fit and returning to competition this winter. That's 11 years to recover both physically and psychologically. The vercors based athelete has been training hard on their dry ski jump this summer. Caroline was the first French woman ski jumper to make the podium in international competion.

11 years does seem like a very long recovery.

Interviewed by Eurosport she had no illusions "for me, it's already a success. The simple fact that I've managed to jump again and that everything's going well, that my knee hasn't bothered me, and that I'm enjoying myself when I go training, I've already succeeded in my project. Everything that happens now is just a bonus. I obviously want to go as far as possible, but I'm also well aware that the top level has progressed enormously in the last 10 or 15 years compared to when I was on the circuit. It's really become professional today, which wasn't the case when I was jumping"

Fascinating that she had any desire to return after such an enormous break.

I wonder how will she do in her first competition after this huge break.
This long of a break is enough for some to re-orient their career, but not for her, she seems passionate and dedicated
