BERLIN (GER): Malaika Mihambo explained why she has decided to compete in the long jump as well as the 60m at the ISTAF Indoor in Berlin, informs Leichtathletik.de. “Last year, the run-up was not as stable as desired. The focus is currently fully on the sprint technique but training is going really well. That’s why we decided to jump in Berlin after all,” she said. Her coach Uli Knapp said:”The training and the performance diagnostics were very promising.”
