Erik Arvidsson's Olympic Skiing Dream

from Section 415 · host The San Francisco Standard

Under most circumstances, Erik Arvidsson wouldn’t have put on his skis and started racing so soon after undergoing ACL surgery. But the opportunity to secure a coveted spot on the U.S. Olympic team only comes around every four years. Less than 13 months after having a second operation to address a major knee injury, Arvidsson is closing in on a dream. Ahead of a race that will dictate whether or not he will travel to Italy next month, Arvidsson joined Section 415 host Kerry Crowley to discuss his journey to this moment.

The hours of research, writing, transcription and translation are worth it when we get to see Altoni’s Spiedo section in action at the Baglioni Palazzo, Fiore’s armor techniques displayed on the battlefields of San Giovanni in Persiceto, Liectenauer’s rossfechten techniques thundering across the terrain of southern Germany, the Anonimo’s sword and gauntlet brought to bear in the lists of Mantua; these are the moments where history and martial arts meet, and we’re dedicated to bringing these moments to you our dear listeners. We hope you enjoy!
