The woman from Linz from the TGW Zehnkampf Union finished fourth in her race over 400 meters in 52.18 seconds, but the time was still enough for the semifinals of the top 24. A great success. This now rises in the night on Thursday. Discus ace Lukas Weißhaidinger was also in action last night.
The US track and field athletes started successfully in the home title fights. Fred Kerley secured gold in the men’s 100 meters in 9.86 seconds ahead of Marvin Bracy (9.88) and Trayvon Bromell (9.88), giving the audience at Hayward Field an unforgettable evening. For the third time in history, all three medals over this distance went to the USA, with Carl Lewis leading the way in 1983 and 1991 respectively. It was the eleventh US sprint gold in 18 World Cup editions.
China’s Wang Jianan secured long jump gold in the final attempt, which he landed at 8.36 meters. Behind the Greek Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou (8.32), the Swiss all-around fighter Simon Ehammer (8.16), who has roots in Austria thanks to his Tyrolean father, came third (8.16).
