nabe1I am back from Berlin, Germany. I had a great time hanging out with my athlete’s friends. I know I didn’t perform as well as I wanted to but I believe the lack of experience and training played a big role in my poor performance (10.51 – 5th in the 12th heats of the 100M) . I remain positive, and I know that my time will come. I just have to be patient and train harder. A lot of people expected me to be part of the Swiss 4×100M relay but the Swiss sprint coach felt like it was better not to include me in it. I do feel very fortunate to have made it this far. I am aware that many athletes dream of making it to the World Championships. My season is not over yet. I plan on running the 100M this Friday at the Zurich Weltklasse, one of the biggest track meet in the world. I wont be running in the 100M “A” race but most likely the “C” race.

Thank you all for your support during the World Championships. I really appreciated it. Special congratulation to Mickael Hanany (5th in the final of the High Jump) and Charles Clark (6th in the final of the 200M).

After consulting a couple of experienced athlete friends, I decided not to run this week-end. I was going to try and break the Swiss record (10.16) at the Fribourg Swiss-Meeting this Saturday August the 8th, but my legs are still tired from last week-end (Swiss Championships). I believe it is the wisest decision. Sometimes it is better to be patient and not rush into things.

I have exactly 11 days until the 100M heats and quarter-final. Here is the timetable of the World Championship. I am flying to Berlin (Germany) on August the 12th. Until then it’s training, resting and eating :) .
