Double European champion Gesa Krause has reached the World Cup final over 3,000 m obstacle after a long trembling. The German champion Lea Meyer fell spectacularly and missed the final. The second day of competition at a glance.
3,000 m obstacle
The Olympic fifth Gesa Krause from Trier is as hoped in the World Cup final over 3,000 m obstacle on Wednesday (07/20/2022) – until the time came, the 29-year-old had to tremble for a long time. In her preliminary heat on Saturday (07/16/2022), the two-time European champion was only seventh in the best time of the season of 9:21.02 minutes – after the total of three runs, she still got one of the 15 final places via the fastest time rule. “I’m proud of my race and my improvement. I can be satisfied with that with regard to the European Championship,” said Krause on ZDF.
The German champion Lea Meyer from Cologne fell spectacularly at the beginning of her run at the moat. She then fought her way to the finish in 9:30.81 minutes, but clearly missed the final.
Five decisions on the second day of the World Cup
On the second day of the World Cup there are five decisions – all without German participation: men’s hammer throw, women’s 10,000 m, men’s long jump, women’s shot put and, as a highlight, the men’s 100 m.
