Barbadian freeskier Victor White has called time on his sporting career.
Following an array of head injuries, the first-ever winter sports athlete to compete for Barbados was forced to make the tough decision no competitor wants to make in order to save his life.
“It was a very hard decision and not one I made alone,” White told NATION SPORT during a telephone interview.
“Everything has a price, and even though I very much contemplated it seriously, to continue, although doctors informed me of the risk I was taking last season competing, the consequence of another crash being a coma or death, as my head is extra fragile from the many severe concussions I’ve suffered was not worth it,” he said.
