A three-times World Champion in BMX (an acronym for Bicycle Motocross) dirt jumps, a Junior World Champion in ski jumping, and a European karate Champion sustained spinal cord injuries at the cervical and thoracic level. Such a severe trauma is tantamount to the end of a professional sporting career. In such a situation, the athlete's life significantly changes in every aspect of it: health, professional, and social. The greatest sports champions have not yet been portrayed in the context of a strategy they used to deal with an abrupt end of a professional career due to severe injury. A semi-structured interview was conducted with study participants who additionally filled out the WHO Quality of Life Scale. This multiple case series presents the quality of life in elite athletes as well as the social activities they have undertaken regardless of the tragic accident. The results of the research indicate that these people are characterized rather by a positive sense of quality in life, and the way they function in a difficult situation is an inspiration to others.
一位三次获得 BMX（自行车越野赛的缩写）泥地跳跃世界冠军、一位青少年滑雪跳台世界冠军、一位欧洲空手道冠军，在颈椎和胸椎水平遭受了脊髓损伤。如此严重的创伤相当于职业运动生涯的终结。在这种情况下，运动员的生活在各个方面都发生了重大变化：健康、职业和社会。最伟大的体育冠军还没有在他们因严重受伤而突然结束职业生涯时所使用的策略背景下被描绘出来。对研究参与者进行了半结构化访谈，并让他们填写了世界卫生组织生活质量量表。这个多案例系列展示了精英运动员的生活质量以及他们在悲惨事故发生后所从事的社会活动。研究结果表明，这些人更具有积极的生活质量感，他们在困难情况下的运作方式也给其他人带来了启发。
