Does anyone know how Olympic 800m champion Nils Schumann is going and if he is injury free or
planning on running indoors?

Yes, the operation which took place in Basel was the second in four months, but neither the athlete
nor his coach has given up hope of competing in Athens. Full training should be possible by May...

Excellent, I hope he makes it to Athens to try and defend his title. He has a knack for winning the
big and always seems to be right up there in the mix.
