Thobias Montler is suffering from a feeling in his hamstring.

One month before the European Athletics Championships.

– We have to get it sorted, says Montler to TV4.

It was not a fun Diamond League competition in Doha for Thobias Montler on Friday night.

The 28-year-old finished seventh with a jump that measured 7.74 meters and was hampered by an injured hamstring.

– It was a hamstring that sprained today unfortunately. I’m actually in the absolute best shape I can be in. I’ve never been stronger or faster or anything, says Montler to TV4.

EC in a month

He didn’t even think he would go to the competition and changed his mind when the hamstring felt better. But already during the warm-up the feeling came back.

– We have to get it sorted, says Montler and continues:

– I will contact the medical team directly to help me get over it as quickly as possible in view of the upcoming championships.

The EC in Rome starts in less than a month. The Paris Olympics are another month and a half away.
