Iden’s post was an incredibly emotional one, and he expressed his feelings of loss for his dear mother. He also revealed that he would be taking time out of his athletic pursuits to be with his family while they coped with this tragedy. Iden did not specify when he would be returning to compete, but it is clear that his health and well-being have to come first right now.
