Wahl in recent days had told on social media how he had health problems. On December 5 he wrote that he had been visited by a clinic in Qatar “three weeks of little sleep, high stress and a lot of work can have this effect”. During United States – Holland he said he felt a pressure in his chest and immediately afterwards he went to a medical center where they told him it was probably bronchitis. In a podcast published on Thursday he explained that he was feeling a little better but not yet 100% “I hope I don’t cough during the podcast”.
