This was not expected so early: sprinter Ajla Del Ponte (26) will return to the track next weekend. De Ticino, who had to undergo surgery in December for a triple stress fracture to her tibia, will start the season in Belgium on Saturday.
After the meeting in Oordegem, she will also be registered in Tilburg on Monday. “I thought I wouldn’t be able to compete again until the second half of the summer,” de Ticino writes in a statement. “I was amazed at how quickly I progressed.”
Originally it had to be assumed that Del Ponte would have to tremble before qualifying for the World Athletics Championships in Budapest (Hungary) at the end of August. Now the situation looks much happier. “When I saw the red inscription in the program that stands for competition, I shed tears of happiness.”
Soon also in the Diamond League
That is also good news for the Swiss sprint relay, with which Del Ponte is training this week. The Swiss women are still chasing a medal at a major event. With Ajla Del Ponte in top form, the chance of a World Cup medal increases considerably.
The first highlight of the season for the Ticino native should be the Diamond League, either in Oslo in mid-June or the Athletissima Lausanne on June 30. (e.g./SDA)
