about me

Annika van der Meer: I LOVE SKIING! a couple of years ago I tore my ACL. During the surgery my leg sustained ischemia, as a result of that I've severe muscle weakness in my right leg. I use an orthosis (a full leg brace from foot till hip) for pretty much everything, without it I can't walk or bear weight on my leg. I use a different orthosis for skiing, which is specially designed for me. After my fair share of mourning I found out that there still are a lot of things I CAN do. I used to be a ski racer before my surgery and in october 2009 I started skiing again. And now I'm racing again in the women standing category, LW3. As part of the development program I am supported by the Johan Cruijf foundation and the Dutch ski federation big shout out for them, but I still need sponsors to keep doing what I love. I'm in medical school, so one day I will be a doctor (hopefully ;)). It is here that I hope to keep you up to date on my training, racing and my life in general. Life is great and I'm enjoying every second. www.annikavandermeer.nl for more information Dutch website

I’m dedicated and training hard to develop in to the best ski racer I possibly can be. I love skiing since I was a toddler and after everything what happened with my leg I’m glad to have another chance to race and chase my dream. In order to compete in alpine skiing and to develop myself I need support. If you are interested to support me and follow me in my journey please contact me at annika@annikavandermeer.nl
