Parents
Among the many stars who have blazed their trails in the world of athletics, one name stands out. It is Mujinga Kambundji. The 29-year-old has become the first Swiss woman to break the 11″ barrier in the 100 metres, and is now one of the fastest women in Switzerland’s history. And she does it all with a smile.
During her career, Kambundji has won gold in both the 100 and 200 metres at the Swiss Championships. She has also won a silver medal at the European Youth Olympic Festival in 2009. In the latter race, she broke the Swiss U20 record in the 200 metres, and won the gold in the 4×100 metres relay.
Kambundji has made it clear that her family is her first priority. When she and her sisters were young, their parents trusted their big sisters to watch over the kids while they were away at competitions. It was a smart move. Now that the girls are adults, they’ve taken a different approach.
Although the Kambundji family has taken a different approach to training, they’re still a tight unit. During a major competition, the clan will surround Mujinga and her sisters, and they do it with enthusiasm and support. They also see sport as a fun activity.
