Sweden’s Viktor Brandt Returns to Full Training After Basil-Plant Injury

The relay world champion reports no lingering foot issues, with clearance for the team’s altitude camp in France.

Overview

  • Brandt said he tore two foot ligaments in May after missing a stair while carrying a basil plant at home.
  • The injury forced a ten‑week break from skiing and cost him national‑team camps in Lavaze and Sollefteå.
  • He reports steady rehabilitation progress and says the foot no longer causes problems.
  • He is set to join Sweden’s squad at an altitude training camp in France without restrictions.
  • Brandt used the downtime for extra ski‑ergometer work to bolster upper‑body strength and aims to improve on last season’s 40th overall as the World Cup opens in Östersund on November 29.
