Christine Mboma (born 22 May 2003)[2] is a Namibian athlete. At age 18, she set an unratified African senior and world under-20 record in the 400 metres, which made her the 7th fastest woman of all time at the event with the 12th fastest result ever. The mark was established at the Continental Tour Gold meeting in June 2021, while Mboma had previously twice broken a world U20 record in April 2021.[3][4]
Both she and the other Namibian sprinter Beatrice Masilingi will not be allowed to run in the events between 400 metres and one mile due to naturally high testosterone levels.[5]
Career
In May 2019, 16-year-old[A] Mboma won the 800 and 1500 metres events at the school's Cossasa Games in Manzini, Eswatini (no WA recognition, its database shows 2m 18.68s in the 800 m on 18 May in Windhoek, Namibia).[6] In July, at the Southern Africa Championships in Moka, Mauritius, she won a bronze medal in the 800 m, clocking 2:17.11.[7]
In November 2020, athlete won gold medals in the 800 and 1500 m races at the Namibian Championships in Windhoek.[8] On 9 December, she won the 400 and 800 m events in Pretoria, South Africa; in the former distance she set her personal best of 51.81 s. She clocked even better time of 51.57 s at the Namibian Youth Games in Windhoek on 17 December.
On 27 March 2021, the 18-year-old[A] improved to 50.97 s and won the 400 m race at the Grand Prix Meet in Oshakati, Namibia. On 11 April, at the All Comers Meet in Lusaka, Zambia, she massively lowered her PB down to 49.24 s. She set the Namibian senior and unofficial world under-20 record, breaking previous WU20R mark of 49.42, which was set in 1991 by Gritt Breuer.[9][10] Beatrice Masilingi came second in 49.53 s. A week later on 17 April, at the Namibian Championships in Windhoek, Mboma took 0.02 s of her record, stopping the clock at 49.22 s. The next day, women's 4x100 m relay team set the Namibian record in 44.78 s.[11][12] On 7 June, Mboma set new PB, Namibian and a meet record of 22.67 s in the 200 m at the Josef Odložil Memorial in Prague to take a gold medal.
On 30 June 2021, Mboma set African senior and new world U20 record and in the 400 m greatly lowering her PB even further. She timed 48.54 seconds to break a 49.10 s 1996's mark of Falilat Ogunkoya-Osheku and win the Irena Szewińska Memorial in Bydgoszcz, Poland, becoming the 7th fastest woman of all time in the event with the 12th fastest result ever.[13][14][4]
She was withdrawn from the 400 metres race at the 2021's 2020 Tokyo Olympics; the Namibian athletics federation announced that she would compete in the 200 m event for which she also qualified.[5]
