Olympic Gold Medalist ski racer and Slytech Rider Ted Ligety busted his knee at the end of this past season at Nationals in Alaska. So, rather than do all the fun stuff that athletes love to do in the summer time (tennis, lift weights, surf, etc… just check out what Slytech Wearer Julia Mancuso loves to do in the summer http://JuliaMancuso.com), he’s at the gym rehabbing his partially torn knee ligaments…

Looking at this YouTube video, I realize — besides the fact that the audio is out of synch with the video (thanks Salt Lake Tribune!) — that he’s the only guy at that gym (the new US Ski Team Center of Excellence in Park City Utah). Poor dude, just rehabbing all by his lonesome while everybody else is outside playing! That sucks.

I guess, the good news is that Ted’s back protector saved his back and the injury was not more severe than it could have been.
