Yes, it's true …
I am not in Paris and I
have break myfinger... It happened before ½ final on boulder WC in
Munich, during waring up. As i already written in last post, my thumb
staied in hole of sloper, when i was trying some moves. First, i
didn't realize that somethig is 'really' wrong, sure i felt pain,
there were aslo some blood, so i thought 'just some another
scratches, i will survive' and went out to climb. Maybe, it was also
'luck' that i got an extra attempt on one boulder and didn't qualify
for finals. But, i am not sure, if i would climb that eve...
Next day finger got
swollen and stucked on place. So i went on x-rays to check, if
everythnig is ok. And sure –it WASN'T! Doctor came to me and said
'girl, that's your picture.little front thumb bone is broken' … You
can imagine my face and i get little dizzy for a momment... NOOO, it
can't be true! But, it was.
(Thay have also told me,
that finger MUST rest and be on place (=not move), because other way,
there is high chance that little bone is not going to heal and can go
out of wright place. And than there will be problems ... but luckly i
didn't get a longete or screw, as they also thought to do)...
So, what to do now? I
canceled Arco at first and staied really optimistics that i will
climb on WC in Bercy. I have good experience with this wall from
Chamonix, nice memories from european championship in Paris 2008 and
knew, that i train good and hard for this comp... So, plan was to
stay away from holds for a week (even, if i wanted to, i couldn't
really grab a hold :S ), do some running and therapies. It accually
wasn't so hard for me to wait that week to pass, because i believed,
that it will be good after that. I really started climbing (or more
moving on the wall) after a week, but there were still pain and i
couldn't grab a lot of holds. But, situation was getting visiby
better and better from day to day, so i didn't get out of hopes for
WC.
There is place for me now ...
Anyway that finger was/ is
healling unbelieveble quick, day before deppartment there were still
holds, that i couldn't grab, even if i wanted so much. Just before
departure the x-ray photo was not so good that i expected :'(. So,
after lotsof thingking, me, my coach and doctor decided that it is
too risky togo on comp … Because i know, once i would be there i
would grab holds, even if there will be pain. And one 'wrong' move
and bone could goout of place and i could say goodbye not just to one
comp, but ... And because climbing means so much to me, i decided not
to risk, because i want to climb also later in my life. And there is
no comp worth the helth of my finger, even if this in WCin Paris.
Specilally, because everything with healling was/is gettingso good
and accually quick, that it is worth to wait for a week and get it
really healed. Even, if there is world champipnship:S...
So, i staied home,
training well and watching all you guys from web-broadcasting. But, i
am looking forward that you will se me lready in Puurs. well, not
just tottaly the same 'old' me, but keep it sicret! ;)
Till than, i will cross
thingers for all Slovenia climbing team and also other on WC.
And i will also let you
know, if there will be some news from here! ;)
Good luck on your recover, Mina!
