The Swiss indoor world champion Mujinga Kambundji also finished second with 10.99 seconds. Third place went to Neita Daryll from Britain, just a hundredth of a second slower.
The Wattenscheiderin Tatjana Pinto and Rebekka Haase from Sprintteam Wetzlar did not make it into the final. In the relay over 4 x 100 meters, the three German athletes, together with Alexandra Burghardt, are among the favorites after winning bronze at the end of the European Championships on Sunday.
