Edu Marin snapped his pulley in Paris

Edu Marin reports in his blog that he has done surgery due to a snapped pulley in the semifinal in Paris. "I reach the crux of the route, it shows because the crowd goes wild as you approach, I take a blunt to left, a very small strip with right and to gain momentum to throw the same hand I hear a loud crack hard! You can not think that is my finger, and when I try to follow the next arch dam strongly feel the pinch, the hand opens and I fall into a huge empty! I realize what just happen ... It ended season, say goodbye to your dreams, your goals, the tour of competitions for China, Korea and Japan, say goodbye ... all that has filled my life in recent months. My mind goes to feel close to everything ... having nothing. Everything that had been building, my effort and sacrifice fades ... still did not want to assume ... So after a few days would not get it. I was aware that it could happen and it happened. I write this sitting in the bed of the hospital room, wearing a white coat and a broken hand. A few hours ago I went through surgery where I have sewn the pulley, but also have given some point to my head, my motivation, my sacrifice, my humility, my desire and most importantly, the desire to continue fighting for my dreams! And is that just as no white without black, no problem without a solution as long as we live." The good news is that normally you are fully recovered within 9 months and a good example of this is Said Belhaj.
