OPREA WITH QUESTIONMARK FOR 2009
BUCURESTI (ROM): Romanian Olympic medalist in triple jump Marion Oprea (26, nicknamed ostrich) could no longer avoid the surgery intervention, one that will keep him away from the competitions for a long time. Bothered by his older problems of the left knee, Oprea decided that it is time to gather courage and get a surgery. The reason for this is that his condition, patellar tendency, could not be fixed by other means than surgery. Therefore, the World champs 2005 silver medalist chose to have this intervention done last week in Turku, Finland. Unfortunately the immediate effects will not be pleasant for Doina Anton’s trainee. He will be back in Romania on later this week and will have to walk on crutches for a month. But it doesn’t stop here. The “ostrich” could miss the competitions for the entire year 2009. That means that also his participation at World Championship in Berlin remains under questionmark.
