He was diagnosed with cancer again Tim Lobinger. The 49-year-old former great athlete from Germany had been found to have leukemia in 2017.
«Five years ago, on March 3, 2017, the diagnosis was made. The doctors had told me that I would be 3-5 years old, in the best case scenario, unless there is some great progress in the treatment of cancer. Five years have passed and thanks to science I am still here“, He states, although he does not hide that he is afraid that he might not catch his daughter’s wedding in the summer and the first day at his little son’s school.
«When you see all this and you know that you will probably not live it for long, it is terrible… “, he states, but does not put it down. «If I manage to survive for another 2-3 years, maybe there is a new treatment that can help me by then. Even if the chances of living are 1%, I will exhaust them».
THE Lobinger had won two silver and one bronze in European Championships. In 2003 he won gold at the World Indoor Championships and three years later in Moscow bronze, while he was European champion in indoor athletics in 1998 and 2002. However, he never managed to stand out at the Olympics as he was seventh in Atlanta in 1996, 13th in Sydney in 2000 and eleventh in Athens in 2004.
