Namibian track sensation Christine Mboma has been granted permission by World Athletics to resume her competitive journey in the 100m and 200m events. The news was confirmed by Mboma’s coach, Henk Botha, who expressed enthusiasm about her return to the track following a temporary suspension earlier this year.
Mboma faced a setback when World Athletics suspended her from competition due to elevated testosterone levels. However, after a thorough review, the governing body has given her the green light to participate in the 100m and 200m events.
Coach Botha, speaking on Mboma’s behalf, stated, “We are keen and excited to get back to the track. She will most probably run in April 2024. We will try and qualify as soon as possible for the Olympics. The main focus is to qualify Christine to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics. This means that Christine will be able to run the 400-meter race next year.”
Despite the positive news of Mboma’s return, Coach Botha revealed that she would be undergoing hormone therapy throughout her career. This treatment is aimed at regulating her testosterone levels, aligning with World Athletics’ regulations to ensure fair competition among athletes.
With an eye on the Paris 2024 Olympics, Mboma and her coach are determined to make a mark on the track once again.
The spotlight will undoubtedly be on Mboma as she navigates her way through competitions, striving to qualify for the highly anticipated Olympic Games.
