After her circulatory collapse at the European Athletics Championships in Munich, Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo is “better again”.
This was announced by the German Athletics Association on Friday night. After the long jump competition, which she finished in second place, the 28-year-old was unable to appear for further interviews because of the problems. Subject to the assessment of the doctors, she is expected to attend a press conference at the team hotel on Friday.
Mihambo was second in rainy weather and significantly cooler temperatures than in the past few days in the Olympic Stadium with 7.03 meters. The 2018 European champion was only three centimeters short of the victorious indoor world champion Ivana Vuleta from Serbia. The German guarantor of success in recent years was not optimally prepared for the start after a corona disease and a subsequent break in training. Most recently, she had successfully defended her title from 2019 at the World Cup.
At the press conference (2.30 p.m.), the European champion over 5000 meters, Konstanze Klosterhalfen, high jump silver medalist Tobias Potye and head coach Annett Stein were announced alongside Mihambo.
