It was a strong race, despite a less explosive start than usual. The longevity of the Bernese sprinter is exceptional; she has thrilled the crowd at Athletissima for over a dozen years. Her podium finish in the Netherlands \u2013 her fifth in a major continental championship \u2013 will further enhance her role as an ambassador for our meeting. Worth noting is the performance of\u00a0<strong>Emma van Camp<\/strong>\u00a0from Lausanne-Sports, who reached the semifinals at just 20 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland almost celebrated a second medal on Sunday. Unfortunately,\u00a0<strong>Audrey Werro<\/strong>, who had made a strong impression in the heats and semifinals, fell 150m from the finish line in the 800m, just as she was moving up through the pack to contend for a medal. The 20-year-old from Fribourg, jostled from the start, paid dearly for her difficulty in finding space for her long and beautiful stride in the confined indoor track. Another regular at Athletissima,\u00a0<strong>Rachel Pellaud<\/strong>\u00a0from Biel, took a promising fifth place.<\/p>\n<p>The Swiss team leaves Apeldoorn with five medals in their bag, including two golds by\u00a0<strong>Ditaji Kambundj<\/strong>i (60m hurdles) and\u00a0<strong>Angelica Moser<\/strong>\u00a0(pole vault).
