Skotheim poised to return to competition after foot surgery

Sander Skotheim, 23, suffered a ligament injury in his left foot during training in January, requiring surgery to fix the damaged band. He has since returned to training, recording his first throw post‑op, and is targeting a May comeback. The Norwegian shot‑putter hopes to compete at the European Championships in Birmingham in August, where he aims for his first senior medal after missing the Paris 2024 Olympics and Tokyo 2025 Worlds.
