Emma Ostrogel gave up after the first part of the heptathlon at the European Athletics Championships in Munich. The bronze medalist at the Tokyo Olympics fell in the 100-meter hurdles Wednesday morning.
Oosterwegel decided after the fall not to play for the rest of the tournament. In the penultimate hurdle, the 24-year-old athlete lost her balance and fell.
“That never happened,” said the inconsolable Oosterwegel to NOS. In the autumn time, the athlete was on his way to a good time in the first part of the heptathlon. “It is not yet clear to me that it is really over.”
In the same heat, nineteen-year-old European debutant Sophie Docter ran a time of 13.81 seconds. Anouk Vetter ran the fourth fastest in another round (13.37). Vetter was a little slower than Belgium’s Navissatu Thiam, the frontrunner for gold (13.34).
