Jan Ove Waldner

Waldner has been relatively inactive since the 2000 Olympics. After breaking his foot in the fall of 2002, Waldner has been concentrating on getting back into playing shape. Although there were many rumors concerning the details of the injury, Waldner says he was at a pub when he tripped over a step on his way to the bathroom. During his recovery he has made appearances at tournaments and done some commentary for Swedish television. He hoped to make his return at the World Championships in Paris in May 2003.
