Regarding the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, August 13 proved to be a very busy day, with the main events on August 14 still to come.
Yesterday, Amy Hunt from Great Britain emerged as one of the day's key figures. She claimed victory in the 200 meters with a time of 22.19, completing a golden double after her win in the 100 meters. The silver medal went to Rhasidat Adeleke, and Dina Asher-Smith secured the bronze.
In the men's 800 meters, Mark English from Ireland secured a surprising victory with a time of 1:45.26. This marks his first European Championship gold medal in an outdoor stadium.
In the discus throw, Kristjan Čeh shone brightly: the Slovenian won with a result of 70.83 m, setting a new European Championships record. In the decathlon, Germany's Leo Neugebauer claimed gold, accumulating 8611 points.
The bronze medal was secured by Ukrainian Mykhaylo Kokhan in the hammer throw on August 11.
In the women's pole vault, Angelica Moser from Switzerland won with a result of 4.80 m. Gesa-Felicitas Krause became the champion in the 3000m steeplechase, while Dariya Derkach won the triple jump.
A particular point of drama arose in the women's 800-meter semi-final: Audrey Werro fell after contact with an opponent, but after reviewing the incident, she was reinstated in the final. Consequently, today's race promises to be one of the most exciting, as Werro will face Keely Hodgkinson and other top European runners.
Tonight, August 14, will feature key finals: the women's 10,000m, men's high jump, women's discus, men's 400m hurdles, men's 200m, and women's 800m.
