A few weeks after the Olympic Games, Malaika Mihambo ends her season early. The long jumper decides to take this step in consultation with her doctors.
Long jumper Malaika Mihambo has ended her season prematurely, just three weeks after winning the Olympic silver medal. “Unfortunately, the after-effects of my corona infection in June are still noticeable,” said the 30-year-old.

Mihambo had brought the infection with her from her European Championship triumph in Rome; in Paris, despite the weakening, she missed her second Olympic victory by only 13 centimetres.
Mihambo explains decision: “My body needs rest”
“In consultation with my doctors, I have decided to end the season early. My body needs rest so that I can soon return to training full of energy and strength,” said Mihambo.
She will therefore not start at the ISTAF in Berlin on Sunday, but will still open the fan zone in the Olympic Stadium.

“I know that many fans have been looking forward to cheering me on and celebrating my silver medal with me. That’s why I will be at the stadium on Sunday and sign autographs,” said Mihambo.
