Polyniki Emmanouilidou kept the… good for the most important – so far – event of the year. The youngster on the second day of the European Championships finished the 100m in 11.21 (0.1), equaling her personal record and easily going through to tomorrow’s semi-final of the event.
The athlete of Katerina Alexopoulou was the winner in her series doing a very good race, although at the start she did not go as well as she would have liked, she developed properly and reached the finish line first.
“I am very happy, the stage is very fast, of course I also felt very good. The previous races were relatively mediocre. In every race I ran 100m and 200m and the fatigue came out. But what mattered was to be good in the big match. And I’m here with the goal of surpassing myself. Tomorrow in the semi-final I want to stay focused and not make mistakes. Today I made some mistakes at the start that I don’t want to repeat“, write down.
The athlete also mentioned the final. “Qualifying to the final is a dream for me. It is a difficult goal, which I will pursue“, said the young woman, who advanced to tomorrow’s semi-final with the third year.
Very close to qualifying for the semi-final was Dimitra Tsoukala, who finished in fifth place in her series with 11.48 (0.4) and took 27th place (with the addition of the athletes who went directly to the semi-final). The athlete was one place away from qualifying.
“Once again for one place out“, initially said the athlete and added: “I felt really good in the race and thought he would write close to 11.40. Unfortunately it didn’t work out. I always give my best and strive for the best. It was a good experience. Now I am thinking about my presence at the baton, where I will give my best».
