This is confirmed by the family’s spokesperson Kåre Løvstakken to news. – Mia is breathing even now even without a respirator, has moved her arms and legs, says Løvstakken. Løvstakken, who is also a doctor, says that this is very good news. – Compared to how it looked just a few days ago, this is very good. He says that Rusthen has a long time of rehabilitation ahead of him. – Mia is tough. She has good muscles and she has all the prerequisites to be successful with that rehabilitation, says Løvstakken. Flew home to Norway In January, news wrote that Rusthen had been chosen to participate in the WC in road racing. For the first time, a women’s class was established. – I have been working for this since I was 18, said Rusthen then. As an 18-year-old, she was handpicked for Yamaha’s road racing team. As an only girl. And from the start the dream was the WC. The speed talent Mia Rusthen (22) was able to participate in the first women’s class ever in the road racing WC. Here from a previous run.

She was operated on a short time later. Since then she has been in a coma. On Sunday evening, Rusthen came home to Norway. She has since been admitted to the neurosurgery department at Oslo University Hospital. Løvstakken says it was uncertain for a long time whether she would survive. – Seeing that she can now breathe on her own and can move her arms and legs. It’s a big step up from lying unconscious and not knowing if she’s going to wake up. Attempted fraud On Tuesday morning, the sister of Mia Rusthen wrote a Facebook post and warned those who follow the motorcyclist on Instagram about attempted fraud. In the post shared on Rusthen’s fan page, the sister writes that someone is pretending to be both Mia and her. And that they ask for money to help Mia. Several people in the comment section of this post write that they have reported the account.

He adds that the family finds it very unpleasant. According to him, they have considered reporting the attempted fraud, but have so far chosen not to do so. – They have informed everyone in the community who might consider supporting such a cause that this is not their plan and that they must not send any money. Kåre Løvstakken is the spokesperson for the family of Mia Rusthen’s family. He knows them from the racing community and works as a doctor.
