Thanks for sharing these shots and interesting background stories. I'll be cheering for you (well besides the two Teros and one Teemu) in the qualification and final. Alright, good luck!

Your story and great images are of an inspiration to me as I am sure many others. I wish you the best of luck. I was athletic and was severely injured 2 yrs. ago and found photography. Your words and photos gave me hope. Now go kick some butt!! This is the moment you have waited for and I think you are there for a reason you endured the hard times!
