Krause Withdraws From Dresden Meet to Safeguard Tokyo World Championships Aspirations

Her rib fracture in Oslo makes the Dresden meet too soon to preserve her preparation for the Tokyo World Championships.

Overview

  • The fall in Oslo mid-June left Krause with a fractured rib that has dictated her recovery timeline.
  • She also skipped the ISTAF Berlin Diamond League event earlier in July to focus on rehabilitation.
  • Krause says she is training at full capacity and her participation in the World Championships from September 13–21 in Tokyo remains on track.
  • The 32-year-old holds the German steeplechase record and claimed world bronze medals in 2015 and 2019.
  • With Krause out, Lea Meyer—the 2022 European silver medalist—enters Dresden as the top contender for the title.
