Katie Ormerod: Snowboarder aims to put nightmare season and bone infection behind her
"This season has been a nightmare but I've never once thought of giving up."
"It's been extremely frustrating but I feel relieved now it's been fixed," the Olympian, 25, told BBC Sport. An old scar opened up and there was a significant level of infection. She was given penicillin but had an allergic reaction to it, making her feel even worse, and was given other antibiotics to fight it.
She was eventually referred to a hospital in Liverpool, who diagnosed the cause of her recurring issues was a section of bone which had died and become infected. "Through it all, I've never thought about giving up. I'm only 25 and feel I've got a lot of life left in my snowboard career yet."
