En stor gruppe tidligere soldater fra organisationen Veterans in Motion havde endnu en gang teamet op med ambassadør Rufus Gifford til dette års Krüger Stafet!
Det var et stærkt syn, der fik store klapsalver med på vejen fra publikum, da den store gruppe af tidligere soldater fra Veterans in Motion tog trinene fra vandet og op på pontonen foran Den Sorte Diamant.
Veterans in Motion består af soldater, der har oplevet krigstraumer enten fysisk eller psykisk, og de deltog i dagens Krüger Stafet i forbindelse med TrygFonden Christiansborg Rundt. Det gjorde de sammen med USA's ambassadør Rufus Gifford, en konstellation de gentog fra sidste års løb.
Her ses de seje drenge ovenpå løbet:
SvømmeSport fangede Rufus Gifford til en hurtig kommentar efter løbet:
- It was fantastic, I mean, it's such an amazing and cool thing that you can swim through the canals in this beautiful city, which we have called home for the last three years. It's unlike anything else in the world. I did a thousand meters, and it was great. The water feels great, everything is great here, and it's such a special way to see the city, fortæller Rufus om oplevelsen og fortsætter om holdkammeraterne fra Veterans:
- It's incredible to be able to compete with these guys who have been through so much and they are still smiling and laughing and competing their hearts out. There is nothing more inspiring than that. Most of them are actually training for a trek across Greenland in March. They inspire me every day - heroes every single one of them!
