Doctors have given 2012 Olympian Viktoria Komova the all clear to begin light training and make a gradual recovery this year, reports her father, Alexander Komov.
Viktoria missed last year's Olympics with severe back pain caused by a stress fracture in her vertebrae. Komov emphasised that it is still early days, and they don't know if the pain levels will return as the workload increases - only time will tell. But Viktoria has a clear intention to make her way back into training.
Good luck to Vika! Let's hope to see her competing in good health once more.
