Athlete Baboloki Thebe Back Home After Undergoing Treatment In Italy

The 400 metres runner Baboloki Thebe came back home this Sunday from Milan, Italy where he had been receiving medical attention.

The athlete sutaioned the injury during the IAAF World Championships 2017 in August while representing the country in the 4x 400 metres relay.
He suffered grade two Rectus Femoris,and the ultrasound confirms approximate 1.5-1.7cm tear midway up left rectus femoris. The ultrasound also revealed some previous scar tissue from an old injury at the distal end of the rectus femoris and it was therefore recommended that Thebe’s recovery should include an emphasis on focusing on the injury and the injury sustained last year.

Thebe has told the media that he has been permitted to do light training and not rush back to track until after two weeks so as to give the injury time to heal adding that the importance of the healing period given that the coming season would be busy for him as he had to defend his African 400 metres tittle at the Confederation of African Athletics African Senior Championships to be hosted by Delta State in Nigeria.
He said there were also Commonwealth Games on the cards in April in Australia and Diamond League circuit.
“This coming season, I pray it remains injury free for me. There are a lot of competitions coming and I want to continue representing my country with pride and dignity. But you know as athletes we do not have control over injuries. They are part of the game,” he said.
Thebe also took to his social media page to thank all those who have been supporting him.
