Top athlete Gesa Krause has had to cancel her start at the German Championships in Dresden this week after breaking a rib. Krause announced on Instagram that she did not want to jeopardize her dream of taking part in the World Championships in Tokyo in September.
The two-time European champion in the 3,000-metre steeplechase fell at the Diamond League meeting in Oslo in mid-June. She sustained the injury as a result. "I'm doing well under the circumstances and I'm in full training in preparation for Tokyo. Unfortunately, the DM is still too early at the moment," explained the 32-year-old, who had to give up before the finish at the Diamond League meeting in Eugene in the USA at the beginning of the month.
