Kim Meier was the youngest again and started in the W11, both in the long jump and in the sprint. In both disciplines, there were very large starter fields with 30 athletes each, but Kim showed what she can do and reached the 21st in the sprint. Place. Unfortunately, the long jump didn't go so well for her, but that will certainly change again at the next competition.

Sarah and Lily both started in the W12. Unfortunately, the sprint, in which both took part, did not go so well, which meant that it was only enough for a placement in the rearmost starter field.

The hurdle race she took part in for the first time didn't go so well, but with more practice, the performances will soon get better.
