In sports like hurdles how were you able to overcome any physical or sports injury setbacks and what advices can you give to those in a similar situation.
Ditaji Kambundji:
So I think it’s always important that everybody struggles with injuries or with health problems. So I think it’s a big part of getting faster is just staying healthy. So an advice that I would give is to really take a step back or realize, learn to listen to your body and realize when it’s time to like maybe take a step back. And always, I always try to go quicker to the doctor or get an answer sooner than later. And I never try to do more when I feel any pain.

How are you preparing for the World Championships in Tokyo later this year?
Ditaji Kambundji:
We are currently now in a training camp in Tenerife to prepare the season 2025. And so I think the first big preparation, I think maybe for the outdoor season will be the indoor season. It’s always good to see where you stand after a long winter preparation. So running indoors, seeing where you are and trying or doing competition is always something that is able to help you outside, I think. And then, yeah, of course, competitions, training are preparation.
