Video / NZ HeraldKiwi sailor Erica Dawson has made a miraculous recovery from a broken leg in time to compete at the Tokyo Olympics, keeping herself and teammate Micah Wilkinson's Games dream alive. However, this week saw Dawson return to the water with Wilkinson to test her broken leg, and she was able to successfully complete the training session. "I guess what I know is that the bone is healed and anything I do isn't going to damage it," Dawson continued. Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson train on their Nacra 17 in Auckland in February. Now cleared to make her way to Tokyo, Dawson can showcase those skills on the world's biggest stage.
