MEDIA RELEASE: New Zealand Elite Triathlete Tony Dodds (aka Doddsy) remarkably unscathed after crash in Germany

New Zealand Elite Triathlete and Wanaka local Tony Dodds has been involved in a car crash in Germany whilst training for this weekend’s ITU World Series race in Hamburg. 

Tony was out training on his own on the narrow European roads when a car unexpectedly braked in-front of him. Tony has flown through the back windscreen.

Tony has emerged miraculously well considering the potential of the situation. He has 12 stiches to his arm, nicked an artery, but thankfully no broken bones.

“I was concerned about overtraining in the lead up to the London Olympic trials. So I’m seeing the silver lining in the situation! Potentially this is actually an opportunity to rest and be well prepared for August” said Tony with his characteristic optimism!

More updates on Tony’s progress will be posted to www.tonydodds.com, or via his Twitter account @doddsy_nz.
