The health condition of Mia Rusthen continues to improve favorably. The rider from the Women’s World Circuit Championship (WorldWCR) is no longer in any life-threatening danger and the possibility of transferring her back to her home country – Norway – is being considered.
The rider suffered a severe crash last Saturday during the inaugural race in Misano. She was transported to a hospital in Cesena, where she was placed in an induced coma and underwent surgery. On Monday, her family provided an update on her health status, assuring that Rusthen was no longer at risk of losing her life.
This Tuesday, another update was given. There is still no set date for transporting the rider back to Norway, but the situation seems to be evolving favorably, as detailed:
– She is currently still in a coma, but her vitals are stable and good. The trauma team at Bufalini Hospital is taking good care of her. We are looking at the possibility to transport her home to Norway when she is stable enough to be flown there. She is by far the toughest woman we know, and we hope her stubbornness and strength will pull her through this too.
