Recovered from 2022 hamstring injury, Canadian Damian Warner sets sights on world decathlon gold
Damian Warner is returning to the world championship stage with a point to prove.
“So when I got back into training, my goals that I had set for myself still stand. I’m still excited about this sport, dedicated to this sport thankfully for me, it seems that hamstring stuff is a thing of the past and training’s been going fairly well leading up to these world championships.”“Being able to win a world championship gold medal, go back to the Olympics and defend my title,” he said. “I believe one day, if all the stars align then I can break the world record.
“I think it would mean a lot ,” Warner said. “First of all, it would be a lot of momentum going into the Olympic year, it would put me back to where I feel like I built myself up to the last couple of years before I hurt my hamstring. Warner’s return and first test of the season came at the Hypo Meeting in May in Gotzis, Austria. Having won the event six straight times and a record seven overall, Warner lost his lead to LePage on the final day and finished second.
“This was the first time where I just wasn’t able to do the training I normally would. So there was some doubts and stuff in my mind and some pain in my hip.
