Yasmin Giger is a phenomenon! At major events, the Swiss of Eastern Switzerland know how to increase and impose themselves in the face of seemingly too strong competition. So also at the U20 World Cup over 400m hurdles. In the final race, she was already on the way to the medal after the first corner. Giger finished in 56.98 seconds, more than a second slower than his personal best in 2017 (55.90).

Giger is a real gem for Swiss athletics. Already in 2015, she won money at EYOF, her first medal at a major international junior event. At that time on the apartment 400 m. It was followed by silver and gold in the 400m hurdles at the U18 and U20 European Championships 2016 and 2017.

The 4x100m relay with Judith Goll, Silke Lemmens, Veronica Vancardo and Melissa Gutschmidt showed a good performance. The four athletes brought the team ahead in 45.01 seconds during the stadium round and ran – after a pole loss to American Americans – in fourth place. After the disqualification of China, they even reached third place.
