Today we pay tribute to Anna Holmlund on her 37th birthday.
It has been just over seven years since the nasty accident.
Now she shows off her new passion in life and is widely praised.
It has been more than seven years since the nasty accident in Italian Innichen on December 19, 2016. The Swedish skiing star Anna Holmlund was one of the world’s best ski crossers and was at the peak of his sports career when the unimaginable happened during a training session.
Holmlund’s accident
Holmlund lost control of his body and his skis and crashed violently on the ski slope. She suffered life-threatening head injuries and fought for her life after being sedated and then placed in an induced coma.
After five months of being sedated, Anna Holmlund woke up again and survived everything like a miracle. After that, it has been a long and difficult road back with many hours of tough rehabilitation for the Swede who has become a role model for so many.
Anna’s new passion
Her great struggle to return to a normal everyday life has inspired many Swedes and all have been impressed by the incredible will and determination that Anna has shown over the years after the accident. These days she can get around without a wheelchair and her speech has improved significantly.
