Woof, this Olympic biathlete jabbed a ski pole through his calf during a training accident
Want to see something gross? Like really gross? Well, you came to the right place, because this is the place where we show you Olympic biathlete Peppe Femling—part of Sweden's 2018 gold medal relay team—with a ski pole turning his right calf into a shish-kebab. If you're slightly squeamish, had a few too many drinks last night, or are pregnant, this is where you might want to look away:
The accident occurred while Femling was training for a roller-ski competition in Norway, and was forced to dive out of the way of an oncoming car.
