Mr Ore 207 Posted February 14, 2022 2 hours ago, customhouseregular said: My schoolboy German can decipher some but not enough I received this information from Russia. Toloknov has a rather shredded foot and he had to have 2 toes amputated. Kuzhin has torn open an artery in which there was a cardiac arrest as a result of 3 litres of blood loss. However, both have been successfully operated on and are doing well according to the circumstances. Not the best of news, but could have been far worse. Best wishes to both. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the human body contains around 4.5 litres of blood, so I would have expected certain death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khuzhin was very close to lose his life, and he is still in a coma and in intensive care in a Hospital. Tolkonov has nearly lost his left foot, they were just able to safe the most of it, but he has lost two toes, and he will need a long time to recover from that. Terrible injuries for two of the younger riders in ice racing. This is a major blow for the already precarious future this sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schwantz34 17 Posted February 14, 2022 Really terrible news for both, but especially Khuzin. Neither incident with anyone to blame. Wishing both as full a recovery as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that stadia in the Netherlands can only operate at 1/3 capacity (perhaps Jesper can confirm this), and the Dutch Government were due to meet on 15/2. I can't seem to find any news on this anywhere as to if the Dutch Government (a) met and discussed the situation; and/or (b) changed the rules. (Again, Can you enlighten us Jesper?)
