A post-Olympic 100m h final for Ditaji Kambundji
Ditaji Kambundji did not get to cross the hurdle to the Olympic final at the Stade de France. At Letzigrund Stadium, however, the Swiss winner of the Doha Wanda Diamond League meeting will be facing two Olympic champions, a world champion, and a former world record holder. The Olympic medallists – Masai Russell (USA), Cyréna Samba-Mayela (FRA), and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (PUR, 2021 Olympic champion) – as well as former world record holder and Olympic silver medallist of Tokyo 2021 Kendra Harrison (USA) will all line-up alongside Kambundji.
A two-time world champion with extra motivation
And so will Danielle Williams (JAM) – just like in Kambundji’s Olympic heat. The 2015 world champion had claimed her second world championship title in 2023 (defeating Camacho-Quinn, Harrison, and Kambundji, who placed seventh), before she went on to celebrate her seventh and final win at a Wanda Diamond League event so far. Williams, too, did not make the Olympic final and will therefore arrive in Zurich with some extra motivation.
