Dominating German 800-meter runner Christina Hering was the Karriere at Istaf in Berlin. – To play sports

The Olympiastadion is Christina Hering’s fitting Ort für das Abschiedslopen. Everything was done in Munich when it was in Berlin, when the Mittelstreckenläuferin was born in the Bayerischen Landeshauptstadt. Nun on January 29 and September 1 during the International Stadium Festival (Istaf) in the Hauptstadt, one of the most popular of the Leichtathletikveranstaltungen here, is the next Karriere.

Hering is the dominant German 800-meter runner of the past years, with 15 national titles on his parade in the Halle and a free sky, started at the Olympic Games 2016 in Rio and 2021 in Tokyo, as well as one of the Freiluft-Weltmeisterschaften. At the Homecoming-EM 2022 in Munich he occupied the 1st place. If you win titles at the national championships, you adjust the standard for Olympia in Paris.

When I ride one of the last moments of Hering on the 800 meter long distance, I continue with the non-Olympic 600 meters, but I think of the road escorts with Majtie Kolberg and Alica Schmidt. “I learned a while ago, that is a matter of life and a higher level on the level of the light-athlete stage-passing”, says the Munchnerin. “Sport has given me so much – but now the time has come, new desires and souls are conveyed.”
