Slovak athlete Emma Zapletalová advanced on Tuesday, August 11, to Wednesday evening's 400 meters hurdles final at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham. The twenty-six-year-old competitor handled the semifinal without any problems and won her race decisively. hnonline.sk ↗

Zapletalová came to the championship as the leader of this year's standings with a time of 52.30 seconds. Thanks to her position, she did not have to compete in the heats and was seeded directly into the semifinal. Even before the event, she was among the main favorites in the discipline and Slovak athletics has the greatest expectations pinned on her at the European championship. teraz.sk ↗

Slovakia has a total of 23 representatives in Birmingham and Tuesday's program was among the most-watched days of the delegation. In the 400 meters hurdles semifinal, in addition to Zapletalová, another Slovak competitor also competed, which meant double representation of Slovakia in this discipline. SITA ↗

The final is scheduled for Wednesday evening. Zapletalová will have the opportunity to confirm her position as one of the most prominent personalities of the season and build on the performances that put her at the top of the standings before the championship.
