Freiburg’s Audrey Werro sets a Swiss record in the 800 m at the Galà dei Castelli in Bellinzona. This way, she made up for her disappointing result from last Thursday.
Freiburg’s Audrey Werro completed the 800 meters at the Galà dei Castelli in Bellinzona in 1:57.76 minutes. With this time, she set a Swiss record. The 20-year-old was a remarkable 19 hundredths of a second faster than Selina Rutz-Büchel was nine years ago in Paris, as reported by the SDA news agency. With the Swiss record, the two-time U20 European champion also erased the disappointing result from last Thursday at Weltklasse Zürich, where she finished last with a time of 2:06.17 just four days earlier. The other three Swiss women in the 800 m race finished further behind, with Valentina Rosamilia coming in fifth, Rachel Pellaud sixth, and Lore Hoffmann eighth.
Mujinga Kambundji competed in her last meeting of the season over 100 and 200 m. The Swiss record holder initially sprinted 100 m in 11.14 seconds to take second place. She then also finished second over the longer distance in 22.69 seconds. William Reais was the fastest of the three Swiss in the 200 m sprint, clocking 20.55 seconds after running the 100 m in 10.45.
A positive season finale was achieved by hurdler Ditaji Kambundji. She was disqualified at Weltklasse Zürich due to a false start. In this meeting, she finished third in 12.82 seconds.
