BAD NEWS 😣
Unfortunately a myocarditis is holding me back right now. It’s definitely not an easy time for me but I’m not giving up. I hope to be back soon, chasing my dreams… and competitors

The COVID World noted:

The 31-year-old was reported to be feeling ‘fatigued‘ in everyday life and after her heart rate skyrocketed during an easy endurance run last month, she sought out a doctor who diagnosed her with myocarditis.

The experienced runner had planned to go on a training camp in Portugal at the beginning of this year but this was cancelled after her diagnosis.

“Nobody can say for how long I have to put my career on hold.”

Schlumpf confirmed to a Swiss newspaper that she has been triple-vaccinated and that she hasn’t had COVID.
