Former world javelin champion Julius Yego has broken his silence on the injury that saw him exit the 2025 World Championships in painful fashion.
Yego made it to the final but could not manage to compete fully after getting struck by an injury that forced him out as soon as he had started.
The 2015 world champion managed a throw of 85.54m in his first attempt but just after, he felt some pain in his groin.

American Melissa Jefferson-Wooden left the 2025 World Championships as the most successful athlete but had to overcome personal challenges to become a track star.

That ended his championship in the most painful fashion and it left him fearing the worst but following tests, the 36-year-old is relieved that he will not need surgery.
“After few days of anxiety, tension and fearing for the worst, I can now take time rest, rehab and consistent therapy! I have had mixed feelings and many thoughts crisscrossing my mind of maybe getting the worst of news: getting under the knife but I thank God that will not happen now,” Yego said via a social media post.
“Thank you all for the many, many texts and calls for well wishes. I might not reply all but know that I really appreciate all this support.”
What is the Nature of His Injury?

The 2016 Olympics silver medalist then explained the nature of the injury that he suffered in Tokyo.
“Compete adductor longus tear after the scans and MRI today was the findings. The doctors have advised as said above, total rest,” added Yego, saying his injury needs just rest.
A tear to the adductor longus muscle is a type of groin strain, most often occurring in athletes during sudden movements like pivoting or sprinting, while treatment depends on severity. Mild strains, like Yego’s problem, usually heal with rest, ice and gentle stretching.
