Edda Hannesdóttir
- ...
that the first Icelandic Olympic triathlete, Edda Hannesdóttir, made it to the Olympics after suffering two major injuries in three years and thinking that she had "no chance" of qualifying?
- Source: Olymipcs (for first triathlete); World Triathlon ("Injury trouble wiped out a large chunk of Hannesdottir’s 2021 season but she rebounded for the subsequent campaign ... She gave a rueful shake of the head as she knew what came next. 'It was very devastating to get injured at the start of 2023.' At what seemed the worst moment for her Paris hopes, Hannesdottir found herself back under the surgeon’s knife with damage to the ligaments in her hip and down the right side of her leg ... The result was that she had to take a year off from triathlon. Barely a season removed from her rehabilitation in 2021, she was forced to undertake the same road of recovery and watched as her nascent collection of Olympic qualification points seemed to shrink in comparison to the growing piles of others ... I remember sitting in a hotel bed and I thought ‘there’s no chance it’s going to happen.")
