– We are in favor of participating in the World Cup now. We may have to take the risk that the injury can turn up and get worse, since this is the season’s big goal, says Thomas Torgalsen, who is a doctor at the Olympic Games’ top sports center in Oslo, to news. It was VG who was first out with the news. The World Cup in Eugene will take place from 15 to 24 July. Now it is not certain that Warholm will participate in the championship. It also means that Bislett Games is smoking for him. Initially, he was to run 400 meters hurdles at the competition on June 16, but it will not happen. – We have decided that it is not relevant, Torgalsen says to news. – And everyone agrees on that? – Yes. In August, the European Championships in Munich are also on the program. It was during the season opener in Rabat that he got a feeling in his thigh, which was examined shortly after. RECORDMAN: Karsten Warholm can lose the World Cup in Eugene. Photo: Jon Olav Nesvold / NTB Torgalsen says that such an injury can keep him out for anywhere from one to six weeks, while the average time is three to four weeks. In other words, it is difficult to give a precise estimate. – That is what is difficult with these injuries. It can take very varied time. As I said, you get 80 percent (healthy) pretty quickly, while the last part of the training to normal function can take very varying time. Warholm is considered by far the world’s best hurdles runner on the men’s side, and he holds the world record in the 400 meter hurdles with a time of 45.94. He broke the record when he secured Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021, in a close duel with Rai Benjamin.
