According to him, when I had 30 broken bones in my head in a road accident in 2016. At the same time, there were serious injuries in the nose, jaw and eye. At that time I felt that I will not be saved anymore. Because I was battling with unbearable pain and depression. But it is a miracle for me to recover from that accident and join the 2022 Olympics and win a silver medal. Norway’s Birk Rood won the gold medal in this competition.

Describing himself, Colby said, he was back on skis five months after the accident, but those times were very difficult. I didn’t have the confidence how to prepare myself for the game. If you think about something in a positive way then you can get out of the darkness. I went ahead at that time and made my dream come true. Today I am standing in front of you on the podium.
