World-class performance at the Swiss Indoor Championships: Jason Joseph replaces Kambundjis

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Until now, athlete Mujinga Kambundji has almost always achieved a world-class level with her 60-meter sprint bursts at the Swiss indoor championships. With Kambundji missing, hurdler Jason Joseph has the third best time of the year in the world at 7.43 seconds at the St. Gallen Athletics Center. More than just a Kambundji replacement!

Joseph still has two weeks to compete at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow with the American Grant Holloway, who set a world record of 7.27 seconds at the American Championships in Albuquerque on Saturday.

Kälin also shines in the hurdles sprint

And who knows, maybe Joseph from Basel will get off to a slightly better start in Glasgow than on Saturday in the final of St. Gallen, then he will even force Holloway to go full throttle. In St. Gallen it is decathlete Simon Ehammer who comes closest to Joseph at national level with 7.55.

After her Swiss record in the long jump on Saturday, Annik Kälin also provided an international touch in Eastern Switzerland with 7.99 seconds in the hurdles sprint. Audrey Werro gives Lore Hoffmann no chance over 800 m. And Angelica Moser jumps 4.60 m with the pole. And the South Sudanese refugee Dominic Lobalu wins his first Swiss championship title over 3000 m without a red pass.
