Pole vault Elina Lampela He finished fourth in the final of the European Championships in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, and made the competition of his life. The Finn crushed his own record. It is now recorded in 470.
There was a slight initial tension in the air as Lampela started the race with a few drops. The Finn dropped his first from the start height 430.
Next, 445 went the first one until the 455 again produced the check on the first one. This height was also successful.
Next up was Lampela’s own record height of 465. There the first crossing was already quite promising, even though it ended with a drop. In the other hand, the crossing took place, hopping the bar, and my own record is true.
At the height of 470 Lampela continued his stunning fireworks. This, too, went beyond another in a really handsome way.
475 was already too much. After three drops, Lampela’s investment in the European Championship final was fourth. Marie-Julie Bonnin He grabbed the bronze with the same result of 470 as pond, but the lower height drops cost Lampela a medal. The French record was cleaner.

Kosonen in the final
Daniel Kosonen started his contract in the altitude final with two drops from the opening height 217. He succeeded in a tight place and cleared the height in the third. However, 222 was too much. However, Kosonen’s final place and 7th place in the European Championships are already a really handsome performance
In the evening Eveliina Määttänen He ran in the 800 -meter semi -finals of 2.03.4 and was the last of his round. The final place would have been required to have a harder time for about a second.
The top three went to the extension. Määttänen in the Athletics Association’s bulletin of his tactical failure.
