Long jumper Maryse Luzolo: Finally catch up on the future

you can hardly believe it myself, but it was four years ago that Maryse Luzolo of the stand for the last Time at a German open-air championship athletes in front of the pit. At that time, the Sportswoman of the king, Steiner LV, which was at the end of the third, the second youngest was in the field. An up and coming long jumper, the much longer sentences were credited as the 6,61 meters, which she jumped ten months later than the current best performance.

If Maryse Luzolo this Sunday (17.15 return on ZDF) in Braunschweig on the stage of the national title fights back, the, young, you already under pressure. 25 years old she is now. Alone world champion Malaika Mihambo, the big favourite is still a Year older than the one from Frankfurt.

The time between the two Championships, the best of your career might be for Luzolo, was stolen from them. By a wrong setting in a training device you suffered at the knee of your left Anklebone in June 2017 a serious injury. To date, the former German U-23 champion, is struggling with the resulting limitations. However, she has learned, with this break in their career deal.

How do you feel about the knee?

For by Luzolo lives two careers: the one, the other after the Trauma. “I try not to look back,” she says. The 6,53 meters, after which they landed a week ago, at your Meeting-a victory in Weinheim, not found you satisfied, even though this was the best result in the new era. “I’m in a good mood,” says the Second national of the year list. But in previous appearances in this summer, it didn’t work out, to bring the training performance on the competition Board.

Much of it is dependent on “how the knee feels,” said Luzolo. If the joint remains stiff, has to do with the weather. The lack of diffraction effect on the start-up speed. Physiotherapy and long, intense warm-up can counteract this. “I have to edit the complete chain,” explains Luzolo, so not only the weak point itself, but also the Rest of the muscles, which is associated with it. In addition, you should not sit on the day of the race too much.
