Por qué importa
The European Championships' 800m event has drawn significant attention due to the strong lineup of athletes.
Keely Hodgkinson’s biggest rival for European 800m gold has been dramatically put through into Friday’s final after being tripped and sent sprawling during Thursday’s first semi-final. It means that the hugely anticipated showdown is still on between Hodgkinson, the Olympic gold medallist; Audrey Werro, the 22-year-old Swiss superstar who ran the third fastest time in history in June; and the Netherlands’ Femke Broeders-Bol, the 400m hurdles world champion who has moved up this season. [...] I love a good challenge, I think it brings out the best in me. So yeah, hopefully it will be a really good race, a clean race, no one falling over tomorrow. No wind please. I’m going to talk to the Etsy witch, make sure there’s no wind.” [...] "Yeah, it’s different and quite nice," she said. "I’ve always said being the favourite is a privilege because you know you’re very strong on paper. But I feel I’ve never slept so well, and have never been this relaxed. So I think it brings its advantages as well."
