After qualifying, albeit not perfectly, with a time of 11.72 yesterday, Del Ponte Ajla managed to seize a well deserved silver medal with 11.33.
After her race, the Swiss athlete declared:“You train for your whole life, season after season, just for moments like these. Two years ago in Tapei I finished eighth. I really wanted to come to Naples and win the medal”.
In addition to that, Del Ponte advises her peers to play sports and cultivate their studies, as they should train both body and mind, and to always follow their dreams. “I will celebrate by taking a nap, and maybe even having a couple glasses of limocello!”.
