2023-05-05 08:06:04

Mujinga Kambundji is on forced rest due to inflammation in one foot. The 2022 European 200m champion will start her outdoor season no earlier than mid-June.

The rest period that Mujinga Kambundji granted himself in the wake of his European title in the indoor 60m at the beginning of March in Istanbul was therefore not enough for this inflammation (plantar fasciitis), which extends from the bone of the heel to toe, disappear.

Bothered by chronic foot pain since 2017, she decided to consult a specialist at the end of March on her return from Belek, Turkey, where the 30-year-old Bernese was in training camp. Mujinga Kambundji will make his comeback at best in Oslo (June 15), and should be in the game at Athletissima on June 30 in Lausanne.

“Obviously I would have preferred to start my season in May”underlines the double Swiss sportswoman of the year (2019, 2022), quoted in a press release from her management agency. “But the season is long, and the Worlds will fortunately take place at the end of August”from August 19 to 27 in Budapest, where she will aim for 3 finals (100, 200 and 4x100m).
