Weltklasse ZH Pressers 1: Lea Sprunger, Mujinga Kambundji and Kariem Hussein

This presser was for the Swiss local press, and it was done in Swiss German. Lea Sprunger is a former heptathlete, then sprinter, who has become a fine 400 meter hurdler. Mujinga Kambudnji is a 100m and 200m sprinter, who also is key to the Swiss NR 4×100 meter team. Kariem Hussein is the 2014 European champion at 400m hurdles and bronze in 2016. He is also a medical student.

These are examples of Swiss rising performances in athletics, with much of it funded by Weltklasse Zurich profits which go into the Swiss athletics community each and every year.

Again, yes, I know this interview is in Swiss German.
