Mujinga Kambundji will only compete in the 100m individual this season. The Bernese will make her summer comeback on Friday at Athletissima, where she wants to test herself for the first time less than two months from the Budapest Worlds (August 19-27).
The 2022 European 200m and 2023 60m indoor champion has decided “heavy heart“to give up running the 200m and the 4x100m relay in 2023. Her pain in her left foot has diminished thanks to various therapies, but it is still felt as soon as she enters or exits a corner at full speed.
“Stress tests showed the pain was contained when we stuck to a limited number of straight line runs“says Mujinga Kambundji (31), who is still far from his best shape after suffering from plantar fasciitis.
“I hope to be able to solve these problems in the medium term in order to be able to support the relay with all my strength until Paris 2024.“, continues the Swiss record holder in the 100 (10”89) and 200m (22”05), who will compete next year in her 4th Olympic Games with a desire for revenge on the relay after 4th place in Tokyo 2021. .
