Calf Injury Forces Bairu Out of 10,000m

Simon Bairu at the Ottawa 10KShortly after arriving at the Canadian training camp in Singapore, Simon Bairu suffered a tear in his calf muscle. With a good team of staff doctors and therapists in Singapore and Osaka, everyone was optimistic that it would be okay on race day. Unfortunately, just a few laps into the race he felt a shooting pain in his calf and was forced to stop. Although he’s disappointed today, Simon had a great season; there is a lot more to come in the future.

Today is an off day for KIMbia before Michelle Sikes takes to the track on Wednesday evening. The following evening it’s Matt Tegenkamp’s turn.
