European Championships: Isaac Kimeli abandons the 10,000m!

Terrible disappointment for Isaac Kimeli! While he seemed very comfortable in the peloton of the 10,000m final, the Hallois withdrew from the race four laps from the finish. Isaac was holding the back of his thigh… 11th in the 5,000m final on Tuesday, Kimeli did not achieve his European goal, letting the Italian Crippa, already bronze medalist in the 5,000m, slip away for the title. Crippa won ahead of the Norwegian Mezngi and the French Schrub.

Eliott Crestan (8th) tried everything in the 800m

Superb race by Eliott Crestan in the 800m final! After moving up to sixth position in the 400m, the 23-year-old from Namur bravely tried his luck in the opposite line, moving up the peloton to get back to second place. In the fight in the bend, Eliott was still well placed at the start of the straight, but then lacked the strength to resist the best.

The victory went to the Spaniard Garcia, in 1:44.85, who surprised the Briton Wightman (world champion), second (1:44.91), the Irishman English completing the podium in 1:45.19. Eliott Crestan finished eighth in this high-flying final in 1:45.68, his best time of the year. Hat !

Anne Zagré eliminated in 100m hurdles

Fifth in the third semi-final of the 100m hurdles, in 13.12 (the same time as in the heats), Anne Zagré failed to qualify for the final. To be picked on time, Anne would have had to run better than 12.87, her best time for 2022 being 12.95…
