The Swiss athletes continue to perform well at the European Games in Chorzow (POL), in the team event. After the second day of competition, they occupy a very good 11th place.
This provisional result puts them favorably in view of Sunday, with the race for the 1st division bringing together the 16 best European nations. Switzerland have a margin of 30 points on relegation.
In the space of 20 minutes, the Swiss hurdle sprinters experienced a whole panoply of emotions. First, Jason Joseph rode a sovereign run over 110m hurdles and won the maximum 16 points for Switzerland in 13.12 seconds, the 2nd fastest time of his career.
Kambundji disqualified
Shortly following, the atmosphere was quite different with Ditaji Kambundji, disqualified for a false start. Audrey Werro ensured the second Swiss success of the day. For the 4th time in her career, the 2nd in the Under-20 World Championships fell below the two-minute mark and was able to savor a well-deserved victory on the big international stage.
Pole vaulter Angelica Moser and long jumper Simon Ehammer both took magnificent 2nd and 3rd places respectively.
