Kambundji, Kälin and Moser win in Bern

Patience was required from the hurdlers on Saturday evening, as the program in the Wankdorf athletics stadium had to be postponed by around three quarters of an hour due to a thunderstorm. Ditaji Kambundji coped effortlessly with this circumstance and won the last race of the day in 12.66 seconds. This is a performance that is certainly worthy of note. The Swiss record holder once again beat the limit for the World Championships in Tokyo in September (12.73).

The second Swiss victory came in the long jump thanks to Annik Kälin, who achieved a best distance of 6.70 meters. The Swiss record holder thus came within eight centimeters of her national season's best.

In the pole vault competition, which was also affected by a long interruption due to thunderstorms, Angelica Moser came out on top with 4.63 meters. The European champion only got into the action after the rain interruption and mastered this height on her second attempt.
