Glave wins hundred in Birmingham, Azu completes British double

British sprinter Romell Glave won gold on Tuesday at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham in the 100-meter run. In the final, he triumphed with a time of 10.09 seconds and together with his compatriot Jeremiah Azu, who took silver with 10.16 seconds, secured a British double for the home team. sport.sk ↗

The final was significantly affected by the injury of the favored Italian Marcell Jacobs. The Olympic champion from Tokyo and defending European title holder was expected to be the main candidate for victory, but after approximately 40 meters he slowed down and did not compete for medals. According to available results, he ultimately finished outside the medal positions.

German record holder Owen Ansah won bronze with a time of 10.19 seconds. His medal came at a time when he faces the threat of a doping ban, but after the final he emphasized support from Germany and his interest in continuing a successful championship. He avoided the lap of honor after the race, but described the medal as a result he does not want to lose. Tagesspiegel ↗
