Rocco van Straten injured.......

Unfortunatly we have to mention that Rocco got injured this weekend. In practise he got injured due to landing on his back. This resulted in a Compression Fracture whatever that may be???

His coach Milan Verhoop: "It is a annoying injurie, but not a really bat one, per se"

After he got injured he decided, never the less, that he had to compete in the Semi finals of the O'neill Evolution. He even managed to place himself in the best 16 after his first jump.What would have been good enough to make it into the finals. Unfortunately he crashed on his second jump, what resulted in him finishing in 20th place. So he missed the final.

Tomorrow he will be transported by ambulance from Davos back to Holland. Hopefully he will be able to recover fast and only skip the World Cup in Slovakia. And be back in competition in 6 weeks.

Rocco good luck with your recovery!!!!!
