Illness Forces Lose Withdrawal

Josh Lose has been forced to withdraw from the remainder of the World Allround Championships after suffering the effects of a stomach bug.

His coach Desly Hill advised that after racing on day 1, Josh was really suffering from a lack of energy after suffering the stomach illness for the previous 5 days.

Josh has had great year, and although there was the disappointment of missing the Olympic Games, Josh should be extremely proud of his performances in what is undoubtedly the most competitive group of Australian skaters in decades.

Good luck for next season Josh and wish you a speedy recovery.
