Murray, fourth in Rio 2016, was diagnosed atrial fibrillation, a heart condition involving a fast, irregular heartbeat due to abnormal electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart.
In June 2021 he had to undergo surgery and although he was going to compete in the Tokyo relays, his team was finally unable to participate, so he did not compete all year.
