On July 17 at Yevgeny Svoboda, she ran the 100 in the semi-finals in 11.08 seconds. Three hundredths of a second slower than the personal best set in June in Paris. She traveled to Munich with the dream of breaking the 11-second limit and climbing the podium. First, she will start in the semi-finals. She ran… freely. With a score of 11.22, she finished fifth in that area. Briton Daryl Neita showed the best result in the semi-finals - 10.95. She and her compatriot Dina Asher-Smith were to fight for gold with the Swiss Mujinga Kambundzhi. Svoboda had little chance of a podium finish because, however, her personal best was by a few hundredths between three sprinters.
The stadium in Munich was full of excitement. The Germans crossed their fingers for Gina Lückenkemper, who also dreamed of a medal (her personal best is 19.95). And it was she who won the gold by throwing it at the ribbon. He showed a time of 10.99 seconds and was five thousandths ahead of Cambundia. The third was Neita - 11.00. Usher-Smith slowed down due to injury and was last.
Svoboda is the seventh Pole to run in the 100m final at the European Championships. The last was Daria Onisko - the eighth in 2006. And Irena Szewinska was the last one to reach the podium - she won in 1974 (in 1966, like Irena Kirenshteyn, she came second). For Svoboda, this is not the end of the championship in Munich. She and her friends also have a 4x100m relay ahead of them.
