Damian Warner is returning to the world championship stage with a point to prove.
The reigning Olympic champion from London, Ontario, sustained a hamstring injury while leading after four events in the decathlon at the 2022 World Athletics Championships. While difficult to enter the off-season on a"sour note," Warner was intent on proving himself again.
Warner enters this year's worlds as the third-ranked men's decathlete behind defending world champion and world-record holder Kevin Mayer of France and last year's world silver medallist and top-ranked Pierce LePage of Whitby, Ont. "But at the same time, it would accomplish the one thing that I've been missing in this sport. I've got a indoor title, I've got a Canadian title, I've got an Olympic title, so I've been missing the outdoor world."
Warner entered the competition dealing with a flare up in his hip, stemming from a fall he took in a 110-metre hurdles race in April.
