Gogl-Walli was more than a second shy of the podium. Lieke Klaver (50.16) ensured a Dutch double victory, the American Alexis Holmes (50.24) took bronze with a new personal best. Gogl-Walli started on the inside in the six-man final on lane one and kept up well with her five competitors, who were rated much higher.
On Friday, thanks to a competitor’s disqualification, Gogl-Walli made it to the final in third place in her semifinal. In the preliminary run, the 27-year-old had improved her own ÖLV record from the previous year of 51.43 by a whopping three tenths of a second.
Meanwhile, sprinter Magdalena Lindner was eliminated from her World Indoor Championships debut over 60 m on Saturday when she finished fifth in her heat. In 7.46 seconds, the 23-year-old from Lower Austria clearly missed making it into the semi-finals.
