Other information |
PERSISTENT INJURY He has struggled with a recurring elbow injury since 2017. "The situation worsened at the [2019] World Championships in Gwangju [Republic of Korea]. I felt really bad there. In September 2019 I was in really bad shape. Maybe I was badly advised, but I wanted to fix it quickly so I had an injection that made me feel good right away. I trained at full capacity and things were going well, but the effect wore off after six months. In May 2020 I had another injection and then I had one more in October. I tried to treat the symptoms to postpone a deeper intervention as much as possible." (corsia4.it, 23 Mar 2021) |
