Turbulent Journey of Caroline Bredlinger towards the World Cup
Caroline Bredlinger, a 23-year-old Austrian athlete, is set to compete at the IAAF World Championships in Tokyo tomorrow. Despite the challenges she has faced, Bredlinger's determination and resilience have propelled her to the top of her game.
Ten years ago, at the age of 13, Bredlinger's career as an athlete was potentially ended when she was shot. However, giving up was never an option for her. Her first thought after the shooting was whether she could still run.
Bredlinger's shooting attack left a bullet fragment in her body, which she can still feel when sitting for long periods. Despite this, she has had no injuries this year due to her rigorous training approach.
The bullet fragment in her head has made running a challenge for Bredlinger, but her performance improves with self-confidence. Her left leg is weaker than her right due to the shooting, but she has been working with physiotherapists to address her hip and thigh issues.
Bredlinger's shooting experience is always a topic, but it doesn't bother her to be asked about it. She has made some adjustments to her training this year, which has helped her run this distance under two minutes three times.
Mentally, Bredlinger's new job at the prison service has given her a lot of freedom. She has been seeking sports psychological support to help her deal with the mental challenges of her career.
Bredlinger's mental strength has been a key factor in her journey to the World Championships. She has already secured her ticket to the event, thanks to her impressive performances this year.
To ensure her comfort during the long journey to Tokyo, Bredlinger's federation booked Economy Plus seats with more legroom. As the fastest Austrian over 800 meters, Bredlinger is ready to represent her country on the world stage.
Despite the odds stacked against her, Bredlinger's story is one of perseverance and determination. She is a shining example of what can be achieved with a strong will and a never-give-up attitude.
