Eugene. Perseus Karlström has earned Sweden’s only WC medal so far – but he hurt his foot along the way.
But before the 35-kilometer race, he is now giving reassuring information.
– He says that the foot that you twisted is fine, but the chafing of the shoe has not fully healed yet.
And that was after the award ceremony for 20 kilometers Perseus Karlstrom He limped in front of the Sportbladet’s mic and told us the 20-kilometer medal was won with a crooked foot.
– He lasted two or three kilometers but fortunately he went after that. But then he said, after you finished playing.
Since then treatment and registration has been difficult. But on Wednesday, Karlstrom posted a photo on social media that indicated things were still far from good.
So how was it?
– I feel better. Of course, you are tired after a difficult performance, but I still think I recovered well. The sprained foot is fine but the wear isn’t completely healed yet, but it will probably be over by Sunday.
I disagree with the medical team
Boot shoes aren’t the first time I’ve handled it, I think?
– number. I may not have fully agreed with the medical team on how to do this. They thought I should tape a little differently, while I had some special solutions to speed up the process. But regardless, it should be fine on Sundays.
The race that Perseus Karlström anticipates is more than 20 kilometres.
– This is basically the distance I invested in, so I hope it will be better. He says I see myself as a favourite.
The men’s 35-kilometer race will be scheduled for Sunday, starting at 15.15 Swedish time.
