Storl welcomes 2021
LEIPZIG (GER): Former world and European shot put champion David Storl has said the postponement of the Olympic Games will suit him due to the fact he is battling back from a back injury, informs dpa. “I could only really start preparing again in December. And it is simply better if you have more than twelve months to prepare for the Olympic Games than if you did that within six months,” he said. “But we now have more time to raise and maintain his level.”
