MUNICH (GER): Malaika Mihambo is looking forward to defending both her world and European long jump titles next year, informs Leichtathletik.de. “Mentally, I think it will show itself to me in such a way that I can look forward to both and really focus…sure, as the defending champion you want to present yourself particularly well, of course, so the motivation there is consistently high,” she said.
