Dita Rabjous’s breakthrough moment in Tokyo
We all knew this is one of the most absurd race that is going to world champions. But if 10 people covered their Bingo forecast cards, almost no one will have Ditaji Cambundi on them. But the Swiss Hurdler became something that he had not previously had in Tokyo. World champion. The 23-year-old year, known as talented but shadow, ran to the race of his life to capture the title of 100m obstacles in Tokyo. In doing so, he surprised his opponents, his fans and his own reception.
Cambundi crossed the line in the 12.24s, a national record and a breakthrough type that regenerates a career. Before that, his personal best was standing at 12:40, he manifested a sign without breaking quite quite. Tonight, in the weight of expectations, being larger on others, he produced something remarkable. When the clock confirmed his victory, Cambundi shook his face in the shock, and later accepted that he did not fully believe.
His name is already familiar with the European path, partly because of his family. His sister, Mujinga Cbundji, is one of the most effective sprinter of Switzerland, a two-way world champion, outdoor stage medals. Ditaji’s own progress has often been measured against that standard. While Mujinga was carved in the global elite, it seemed to Ditas, that it remained on the verge, produced subtle investments, but struggled to reproduce them to the most.
However, the Tokyo final played for himself. The field was equipped with decorated athletes. The world champion and World Recorder Nigeria Tobi has arrived as a world champion and record holder. Mass Russell, the Olympic champion and the fastest Hordler, was widely prompted for the crown during 12.17. Grace Stark, another American, doubled the victories of the Diamond League earlier, and one of the most consistent miracles of the year came.
However, the race belonged to Cambundjet from the moment the weapon went out. He steeply exploded from the blocks and cleared the rhythm through obstacles. Amusan, despite the fast graduation stages, could not turn him around and settle for silver 12.29. Stark requested Bronze on 12.34, performance described as satisfactory, taking into account the caliber of competition. Russell, for his early shine, created many obstacles and fell fourth. Ama Amaya Daniel Williams, the two-sided world champion, ended the seventh at 12.53.
Cambundi, calm, but widely after glance explained how to try to block the occasion and focus only in his race. “I gave all of myself,” he said. “I tried to focus on myself. I was calm and quite gathered.
His victory for Switzerland was historic. In the country with a limited tradition in Sprint Hurdles, Cambundji’s mileage put him the fastest in history. Her 12:24 constantly makes it a constant fire to the Fastest Woman, a milestone that can raise her beyond the shadow of her sister. For Ditaji, it represents ratification years later, trying to turn the promise into performance.
The final of Tokyo was a reminder of how unpredictable can be obstacles, and how often belongs to that they are ready to capture it. Cambundji’s victory was the result of preparation and composition. He left the path as a world champion, and his disbelief gave him a place to know his career that his career had passed.
It was night for Damagji Cambundji when he did not know himself as someone else’s sister, or as a athlete who struggled outside. In Tokyo, he became the fastest woman in the world for the obstacles to 100 m.
