Archibald says goals ‘as high as always’ ahead of injury return at worlds

KATIE ARCHIBALD insisted her targets at the track world championships are “as high as they always would be” four months on from the horrific leg injuries that ruined her Olympics dream.

Archibald’s hopes of adding to her two Olympic golds at Paris 2024 were dashed as, weeks earlier, she suffered a fractured tibia and fibula, a dislocated ankle and ligament damage in a freak accident.

The muscle shrinkage in her left calf and a swollen ankle are reminders of that stumble over a step in her garden in June but she will make a swift return to action this week in Ballerup, Denmark.
