At half-past eight, the stadium announcer greets the 100-meter runners. "On the fifth corridor, Guido Obig, Mujinga Kambundji!" The audience applauded with anticipation, since the Bernese had last Thursday only in Lausanne a Swiss record (11.03 seconds). Does she start again? Not quite. But she still delivered the race in a slower field than in Lausanne in 11.12, ahead of South African Carina Horn (11.13) and American Jenna Prandini (11.14). The audience briefly paused, but then, when the win was officially announced, the 26-year-old signaled to the spectators and partying. It was a good start in this summer evening. She did not have enough, because she also started the race of 200 meters.
In the spring, Kambundji completed an intensive preparatory camp in Florida, trying a new environment. She is also engaged in essential breaks. This restart was worth it until now. The last race of more than 100 m, now at least a medal at the European Championships in August in Berlin. And she feels that she has less than eleven seconds in her legs. But also on the 200 m, the Bernese has big ambitions. Monday night, she came in 6 hundredths of her best time of 22.42. That was enough for second place, the winner was Jamaican Shericka Jackson in 22.40. "I'm very happy with this 200-meter race, even though I felt a little tired of the previous race," Kambundji said after the awards ceremony. She looked tidy, too, "because I was finally able to win a race in Lucerne, I was close to it a few times". Their form towards the European Championships is gaining more and more momentum. Meetings in Switzerland will meet her anyway. "I can always go home, the trip is falling." And his self-confidence grows from one week to the next.

Nevertheless, she was not completely satisfied with her appearance in Lausanne. "It was not a perfect race at all.In the second corner, I was too passive." Self-confidence for the Lucerne meeting was definitely warranted for the 28-year-old athlete.
