Bibi Pekarek on the road to recovery
Austrian snowboarder Bibi Paekarek was leading the Freeride World Tour when she suffered a horrific knee injury whilst filming in Canada in March
The accident meant she could not compete in the final two events, in Tignes and at the O’Neill Verbier Xtreme.
But there is no doubt that Bibi will be back better than ever.
She stopped by for a quick chat to tell us how her recovery is going:
"I had my surgery more than a week ago now and I am getting better. At least the sun is shining and I can chill on our terrace.
The doc had to fix my meniscus too so the rehab will take a little longer than the usual ACL surgery because I have to use crutches for 3 to 4 weeks, and I shouldn’t bend my knee actively for 6 weeks.
Anyway, it could always be worse."
