That’s what Swedish swimming standout Sarah Sjoestroem says about the broken right elbow that put her status for the Tokyo Olympics at risk. In normal years, Sjoestroem migrates to warmer climates for training during Sweden’s long winters. “But because of COVID I’ve been staying a lot in Sweden (and) then the risk of slipping on ice gets much higher. So I slipped and I fell on my elbow and I broke the bone,” she said. “It went completely off.” (AP Photo/Andrew Dampf)
