When a crash in training at this year’s Pyeongchang Winter Olympics left GB snowboarder Katie Ormerod with broken heel it kick-started a nine-month journey featuring multiple operations, complications and a skin graft. As one of Britain’s genuine Olympic medal hopefuls, Ormerod (who was the first female in the world to nail a backside double cork 1080 at the age of 16) had to process the mental effects of crushing disappointment as well as the physical challenge of being unable to weight bear.
