STOCKHOLM, Aug 18: Sweden's Carolina Kluft, who retained her heptathlon title at the European championships last week, will miss the rest of the season because of a thigh injury.
“I don't want to risk it getting worse,” Kluft told Swedish public television SVT on Thursday.
“It will be four to five weeks of rest before I can start training again.” Kluft, Olympic and world champion, struggled with the injury during the European championships in Gothenburg.
