despite the fact that she is only 24 years old, Danish Pernille Blume have already left their footprints in the svømmesporten. Among his most prestigious accomplishments, she has an OLYMPIC gold from Rio in 2016.
In January, she has, however, not been to see in the pool. Now has Denmark’s svømmeforbund revealed why:
Blume has been through a hjerteoperasjon. It to lessen the risk of blood clots and cardiac arrest.
– After a study at the hospital found the doctors that I have had a small blood clot. In the connection checked they also my heart. When they found out I had a small hole in the heart, ” says Blume.
Nerveforstyrrelser
It is this hole that should have been closed under the operation recently.
– Sad that my victory suddenly can become something sexist
According to Extra, the Magazine has Blume for a long time experienced nerveforstyrrelser and pain in the left arm, and was through great research to find out why.
Denmark’s Radio writes that the problems extends 18 months back in time.
What is Blumes next big competition, therefore, is uncertain. Immediately she started with opptrening on a training camp in South Africa.
“It will be good to get started again, so I can find back the balance in your body and compete again,” says Blume.
Created a fuss
Blume is now an established name in the svømmesporten, and is no stranger to the occasional scandal. No later in august she created a big stir when she made a choice that baffled the experts:
During the european CHAMPIONSHIP semi-finalists in the 100 meter free, swam she so good that she’d led, after the turn of events. But instead of taking it, and complete the last 50 metres, klasket she hand in bassengveggen, calmed down and swam back to a sixth.
With that she lost her a place in the finals of the 100 metres free. The general was in harnisk.
– I thought it was a strange and unnecessary choice to make in a semi-final. It happens that the swimmers will run the first 50 in max to try to get a good time, but what do you do, just not in a semi-final. She lay the way to take the medal, and maybe the gold, said NRK expert Aleksander Hetland to the Newspaper.
