Three weeks before the European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, the Kambundji sisters are in top form. The Bernese women shine at the indoor meeting in Torun, Poland.
Hurdles sprinter Ditaji Kambundji broke her own Swiss record in the 60 m hurdles. In second place behind the world's best of the year, Ackera Nugent from Jamaica, she finished in 7.80 seconds, one hundredth of a second under her two-year-old record. The 22-year-old moved up to fourth place in the world's best of the year as the fastest European.
Mujinga Kambundji is the new number 3 in the world. The European indoor champion pushed her season's best time from 7.14 to 7.07 seconds in the 60 m final. Only two women have sprinted faster this year: Jacious Sears (USA/7.02) and Zaynab Dosso (ITA/7.05), who won in Torun.
