The 23-year-old Weissman, who just two weeks ago broke the Israeli record in the competition in Switzerland, when she set an amazing result of 11.06 seconds, while leading no less and no more than the Dutch Daphne Sachifers - former European champion and finished first, reached the championship after falling ill last week in Corona. Spent "several days in solitary confinement.
And yet, despite the negative results and approval to compete, there were many question marks, how she recovered from the corona.
Weissman lined up for the third qualifying round, when she was placed in the middle fifth track and started not bad, but the finish was not good and she crossed the finish line only fifth.

As you may recall, in Doha three years ago, Weissman set a time of 11.27 seconds and was ranked 23rd, but this time, she finished in 29th place.
Coach Irena Weissman said: "It has only been a few days since Diana recovered from her corona. Her body has not fully recovered. She has done her best to date. Our goal now is to recover and start preparing for the European Championships in Munich. Thank you all for your support from afar."
