Karsten Warholm has traveled to Germany and renowned doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfart in hopes of getting a thigh injury treated in time for the WC in Eugene, wrote NRK.
The World Championships start in mid-July, and there is a danger that he will go without the Norwegian hurdle star. She is the reigning WC and Olympic champion in the 400 meters hurdles.
On Tuesday, it became clear that the thigh injury was worse than feared, meaning he will not be seen at the Bislett Games in a week’s time. Now she and coach Leif Olav Alnes have traveled to Germany in hopes of a speedy recovery, mother and manager Kristine Haddal told NRK.
– On Wednesday he went to the Müller-Wohlfart clinic for treatment. This is on recommendation and in collaboration with Puma’s partners and equipment suppliers, he wrote.
In the past, Usain Bolt has benefited greatly from the German doctor, and the Jamaican sprint icon said, among other things, that Müller-Wohlfart had a lot of credit for 2016 Olympic gold. Bolt was then also partnered with Puma.
According to doctor Thomas Torgalsen at Olympiatoppen, such an injury can keep an athlete out of action for an average of three to four weeks. He also said that the athletes themselves are free to choose where they want to be treated.
