This will only make me STRONGER | Elin Härkönens blogg

Just another SETBACK in life, which will only make me STRONGER. I knew it would be tough today, the day I was planned to compete at the OCR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in Canada. After everything I've been through and all the time I've put into rehab and training, I was really looking forward to participate at such a huge event, again. Representing Sweden and fight with the top athletes in the world, in a sport I recently fell in love with. I started with this sport, in April this year... and have only done 4 competitions.... but it has been amazing. so much happiness and satisfaction. Like a receipt, that hard work pays off. And also to prove people wrong. my body is amazing and I am so thankful that it is still carrying me through life. I know I overdo it sometimes, and have to pay for it...(more pain, lack of sleep, loosing weight and so on..) but I am still able to live an active life and do what I love the most.... which is more than anyone thought would be possible 4,5 years ago. That I had such bad luck to end up in a similar trauma is still hard to understand. But I'll get through this too... " Just another setback in life, which will only make me STRONGER...." I just watched a video from this Summer, when I became the European Champion (shocking I know!!🙈) and it made me realise that even if it sucks that I'm not able to compete today at Worlds, I have come so much further than anyone thought I would. I am alive and that's a miracle they say.... A World championship or a title as a world champion is nothing compare to life. I am alive and I will be ok. and that's the only thing that really matters. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS competing at OCRWC this weekend! ⭐️🇸🇪💛 I'm there in my thoughts. But in person I'm hopefully on my way back to Sweden, (if I'm not getting worse the doctors said I can fly Friday night) fingers crossed.... lots of love E
