January 2019
The Junior World Ski Championships were held in Lahti, Finland from January 19th through January 27th. The event started with the U20 sprint races and culminated with the cross country team relay. Coach Fish led the U20 men’s relay team to the first gold medal in the history of the United States at a Junior World Ski Championship. Pete Dickinson, DPT and Ethan Simpson, ATC provided care for twenty-two different athletes over nine days of competition. This resulted in a total of seventy-six, thirty minute treatment sessions not including race coverage. The temperature hovered at the low end of the legal racing limit for the majority of the races. Overall, the event was a huge success for both individual athletes and the United States Ski Team as a whole!
