Viktor Röthlin aborts training camp in Kenya

March 16, 2009

On Saturday, March 14, Viktor Röthlin returned to Switzerland from his altitude training camp in Kenya because of a suspicion of pneumonia. He will now undergo complete medical testing in Switzerland. Röthlin had to reduce the training already on the Tuesday before, because of an inflammation in his foot. Surprisingly on Thursday some symptoms of pneumonia appeared and the 34-year old immediately decided to fly back to Europe. Originally it was planned, that Röthlin would have stayed in Kenya until March 20 to prepare for the London marathon 2009.
