That became clear during a press conference on Wednesday.
The last five or six weeks have been hell. “We’ve tested quite a bit, and I feel pretty sure we’re close to 100 percent,” Warholm said according to Dagbladet.
– Now I feel that I’m back, he continued.
Warholm had previously stated that he felt “mentally ready to compete again”, but official confirmation has been delayed. He had kept a card near his chest when it came to rehabilitation.
– This is probably the toughest task I’ve ever tackled in my career, he said.
Three days
Warholm kicked off the World Cup in America’s Eugene on July 16 with a trial run. Then semifinal 17 awaits before the final practice takes place on the evening of July 20 Norwegian time.
There has long been uncertainty about Norway’s participation in the World Cup after he picked up a thigh injury in the season opener in Morocco in early June.
After that, he trained, and he was, among other things, treated by the famous German doctor Hans Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt.
title defender
Warholm is the defending champion at a distance. He first won in London in 2017 before triumphing in Doha in 2019. He is also the world record holder in training after winning the Tokyo Olympics last summer.
– I defended the title. If I go there, it’s because I have something to bring, Warholm said according to television 2.
– Now I can say that I feel ready. And when I feel ready, it’s 100 per cent.
