This is the column of Stuart Weir, about the amazing day of frustrations in two days of Eich25.
Difficult day for team GB
Friday was a catastrophic day from the beginning of the team’s GB to the end. It started with Amber Anning, for the favorite 400m, heating the fastest time for more than half a second, suddenly disqualified for minibus violations. The day ended with the Georgian hunter call, which seemed to control 1500 women, suddenly overcoming and exhausted. Neil Gurli, who was expected to be medal, could only finish the fourth. Only one of the 600 in the morning became the semi-finals. In the 400s it was one of five.
Thank you for the beneficiaries of Rwe Walcot-Nolan, who brilled in those women in 1500. After the final, his first words “I am very happy.” And why not? He added: So that’s what I tried to do the whole race. Stick to the program as long as possible. If I die, I die, but at least I know that I have given it, and it has been paid. ” He needs to be a double celebration 30t. The birthday was yesterday.
The winner was Agat Gilemot (France) 4. 07.23 to Salome from Afonso (Portugal).
Georgia Hunter Bell was the most popular in the field and the fastest. He seemed to control the race, but when Gilimot and Alfonso passed in the final arm, he could not respond and won Valcott-Nolan last. He finished at the same time -4. 08.45 only in the third thousandth of the second to divide the bronze and fourth place. “
Hunter Bell said: “I don’t know what happened. I felt good yesterday; I felt smooth and thought he would win today. I didn’t think it would come fourth. In the end I closed there. I’m not sure what happened. I did the whole plan until the last bit. I will have to leave and see. I had an ear infection. I could not hear from my ear but I felt physically good. I didn’t expect today and I’m really drilled. Usually I can finish strong, but today I didn’t have it. “
After that, the winners’ comments showed some surprise as a result of the result. “I made this gold medal throughout the winter. I told my coach. “I will win this bronze medal, I don’t know how, but I will win it.” It was easier than yesterday’s warmth. I realized yesterday that Georgia (hunter bell) had a perfect place to run before us and control everything. In this position when you want to move forward, you do it, and it’s harder for others to return to you.
“It’s unbelievable because I could celebrate my victory over the last 100 m. At one point, I even wanted to wave my coach and said: “Look, I win.” It was crazy. I won the Georgian hunter call, and he had a medal at the Olympics, so I think I had done a perfect race.
It’s my first gold medal in the big championship. Last year I won a bronze medal in Roma. This time I will be able to hear the French anthem. “
Men’s 1500 m men came to men when Neil Gurli, another GB medal, could only finish the fourth. He said: “I’m a bit beaten but well. Sometimes you do your own luck in the tribes, and I may not be able to do my best to deal with all the massacres. I will put my best position in the future that one just got a little mistake today. “
I hope tomorrow will be a better day for the team GB.
