With 6,233 points, she clinched her second victory on the All-around World Tour in Ratingen in 2018. The 29-year-old shared first place with Emma Oosterwegel (NED), who came third in the Olympics and had the same number of points. Third place went to Bianca Salming from Sweden (6,028 points). Talence /Linz. Götzis, Ratingen (GER) and Talence (FRA) are the only three all-around meetings worldwide that hold the gold level status of the World Athletics Combined Events Tour, the all-around equivalent of the Diamond League.
“I’m happy about my first victory in Talence,” said Dadic, who finished fourth in Talence seven years ago. But she wasn’t entirely satisfied. “I’m really in very good shape, so I actually imagined the all-around competition to be a bit different. I’m not at all satisfied with the javelin throw.”
Still, it was a nice win for Dadic after a season spoiled by injuries. She had to skip the World Championships in Eugene and was disqualified at the European Championships in Munich for leaving the track in the 200m run. Dadic was particularly strong in Talence over 200 and 800 m. “I’m proud of the 800 m race,” she said after celebrating a clear discipline victory with 2:11.12 minutes and making up for the gap to Emma Oosterwegel, who was third at the Olympics after six disciplines. It was Dadic’s second fastest 800m time of her career.
With the 110 placement bonus points for the meeting victory, Dadic has written well for the World Cup qualifier for Budapest 2023.
Isabel Posch (5,394 points) and Niklas Voss (6,476), both from Vorarlberg, won the titles at the local all-around championships in Linz on Sunday.
