European CHAMPIONSHIPS indoor athletics: Renée Eykens knokt, to the final 800m

EK Athletics one championship is not the other. Last year was Renée Eykens in sackcloth and ashes after a fall in the first series of the european CHAMPIONSHIP of athletics in Berlin, tonight qualified for the 22-year-old Antwerp for the final of the 800m at the european CHAMPIONSHIPS indoor in Glasgow. For zevenkamper Thomas Of the Variation seem to be the medals after three trials to be far away.

Renée Eykens made during the sets of the 800m yesterday impression and they did that tonight in the Emirates Arena again. Yesterday, opted for the attack, just in the semi-final chose Antwerp for a sensible race. They always remained attentive on the trail of the Spanish Esther Guerrero and came as second over the finish line, in 2:02.85. The final was within, Eykens was found on the chest beating. “I am happy that I am in the finals of a major championship,” chugged them. “I knew that it would be important to properly position to choose, and for as long as possible. The aim was to be as slow as possible, to die. Fortunately I was far enough in front. I had planned to give all and I have done that.”

Eykens said that they advance very nervous and did there confusion about the sequence in which they were classified not good. “At first, I was in the first series, then in the second and in the call room was the first: the autistic person in me that is not her cup of (laughs) . I do not like last minute changes. That do you really do not need. I was already nervous enough. So 800m is unpredictable and I did not know myself to what extent I was recovering from the efforts of yesterday.”
