He was the ultimate european mzungo.org hope for London -
Then weeks ago the shock. He had to pull out of this years race.
Viktor had to stop his training camp in Iten and returned home to Switzerland. The reason - pulmonary embolism.
His healing process, as swiss press states, is pretty slow. It's reported that he is already 4 weeks out of training.
Again doctors discovered water in his lungs and he had to go back to the hospital.
Beside the lung problems it is still undiscovered why the 3rd place finisher of the 2007 Marathon World Champs was also diagnose with thrombosis.
mzungo.org wishes Viktor all the best and looks forward to seeing him back on the roads...
