Czech delegation at the European Athletics Championship in Birmingham on Saturday, August 15, failed to convert two significant medal opportunities. Javelin thrower Jakub Vadlejch finished fifth in the final with a performance of 82.88 meters, missing a medal by nine centimeters. 400-meter runner Lurdes Gloria Manuel finished fourth in the final with a time of 50.86 seconds. irozhlas.cz ↗
Vadlejch, who was defending his European champion title, saved his longest attempt for the final series. This time, however, his final throw was not enough to move into the medal positions. German Julian Weber dominated the final with a throw of 90.40 meters, setting a championship record. For the Czech javelin thrower, it was another narrow result following the Paris Olympics, where he missed a medal by four centimeters. irozhlas.cz ↗
Manuel was among the biggest Czech hopes before the final. She ran the race very quickly and was the fastest in the first hundred meters, but her competitors overtook her in the final stages. Her time of 50.86 seconds was her slowest performance of the summer season. The race was won by Norwegian Henriette Jaeger with a time of 49.04 seconds. idnes.cz ↗
The Czech athletic representation thus continued to wait for a medal success from the main Saturday finals in Birmingham. The results of Manuel and Vadlejch also confirmed that even the favorites of the Czech delegation remained just below the podium in the decisive disciplines. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
