Ticino and Basler will live up to their favorite 100m role at the Swiss Championship in Basel.
Ajla Del Ponte secured his first Swiss championship title in Basel. The Ticino woman was in her own class over 100m and won in 11.27 seconds ahead of Cynthia Reinle and Natacha Kouni. Del Ponte lost her personal record set in July by 0.19 seconds.
“This title is definitely something special,” said Del Ponte, who was fourth to SM in 2019 at the same venue. In this sense it was revenge. Was it mentally difficult because she was the top favorite? “It is important to have this experience,” said the 24-year-old.
Wicki with a strong time
The clear men’s favorite also prevailed over 100m. Silvan Wicki, whose personal best is 10.11 seconds, convinced with a slight headwind with a time of 10.18 seconds. William Reais and Felix Svensson came in second and third.
“The satisfaction is great, that was the great goal of the season,” said Wicki. Given the conditions, he was “very satisfied with the race.” The pressure was great. However, you know that it will work when your body is healthy.
Schlumpf and Raess win over 5000m
Fabienne Schlumpf clinched the women’s over 5000m championship title. The Zurich woman won the race in 16: 30.18 minutes ahead of Chiara Scherrer and Nicole Egger. Nicola Spirig was also at the beginning. The triathlete finished fifth in 16: 46.73 minutes.
In the men’s category, Jonas Raess lived up to his favorite role at 5,000m. The one from Zurich won in 14: 02.09 minutes ahead of Dominic Lokinyomo Lobalu and Max Studer.
