Our 4-man journey ended abruptly, and not at all how anyone planned. ๐๐น๐น
But, it was no one's fault, just a stroke of incredibly bad luck at maybe the worst possible time. A fluke accident, a stripped thread out of a solid block of aluminium rendered us without steering, and without a hope of making it down. ๐
Axel tried to salvage something. He tried reaching for a cable in case it was the D ring slipped.๐คท He tried kicking the steering pillar incase it was the cable that went. ๐คท But the nature of this break was that there was nothing I could have done. Certainly not at 94kph round a corner.
Though there isn't blame, we're sorry to everyone involved that it ended this way, it's just a shame and that's all there is to it really. The crash may not be the fairytale ending, but up to that point, these games absolutely have been, and taking to the ice yesterday was already national and international history. ๐น๐น
