Kambundji regains 60m world indoors title

Switzerland’s Mujinga Kambundji won a thrilling 60m final at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing on Saturday to regain the crown she last won in Belgrade in 2022.

Kambundji produced a savage dip at the line for the win, clocking 7.04 to see off Italy’s European champion Zaynab Dosso by two-hundredths of a second.

“Every win is always good for the confidence,” the Swiss racer said.

“It shows me that we’re doing a lot of things right because not every year is the same. You can’t just take one recipe and do it every year.

“You always have to adapt on how you feel, so I’m really happy to see that my coach can feel what I need, and we can do what’s optimal for me,” she said.

Patrizia van der Weken of Luxembourg was third in 7.07, her nation’s first ever world medal.

The two Jamaican competitors in the women’s 60m at the championships, Jodean Williams and Natasha Morrison both failed to advance beyond the semifinal round.
