Will narrow femoral artery surgery keep Shirin van Anrooij sidelined for 6 months?
Shirin van Anrooij (22) will not participate in the cyclo-cross season this winter. The Dutch woman must begin to equip herself. She went under the knife and will be sidelined for a long time.
Shirin van Anrooij She had a difficult road season and will take plenty of rest during this time before jumping on her cross bike.
But the latter will certainly not happen. The Dutch woman announced on Instagram that she has undergone surgery.
The culprit that plagues many cyclists is a physical problem: a narrowed femoral artery.
“My season will last a bit longer this year,” said Van Anrooij. She talks about “tough months on and off the bike” that are now defined.
Van Anrooij suffered from problems with her left leg and has now undergone surgery to repair her narrow femoral artery.
“It was a scary diagnosis, but everything was explained well. I can smile again and think about my recovery.”
That takes a lot of patience and time. “It could be up to 6 months before I can think about racing again.”
Winter cyclo-cross is out of the question, but spring on the road could also be mortgaged.
