At the Diamond League Meeting in Oslo, obstacle runner Gesa Felicitas Krause made a bitter season opening on the track. Robert Farken ran directly to the next record according to his latest 1,500m call sign.
Krause had certainly imagined the first competition on the track. The German record holder over 3,000m obstacle took a few short tripping steps to overcome the hurdle, but then the two -time European champion stumbled and crashed into the big obstacle almost unchecked. The start of the World Cup season ended after a few rounds for Krause, which had concentrated on street races in the spring.
