Will the Israeli delegation that went to the European Championships in Athletics get to see a medal already on the first day of the competition? At this time, the marathon was held in Munich, in which the best senior Israeli runners are participating, who will try to win an individual or team medal.
Geshao Ayala took first place after 35 km of running. Fourth-ranked Girma Amera and sixth-ranked Weimar Gethon, ahead of seventh-ranked Maru Tefri. Omar Ramon ranks next after them.
Each of them will try to win a personal medal in the competition. Israel has become a marathon powerhouse and it comes with quality runners to the competition. But at the same time, the results of the three best runners could bring the country a team medal.
In the women’s marathon, which started an hour before the men’s, the Israeli Maor Tiori finished in 27th place in a time of 2:38:04 hours. Poland’s Aleksandra Lisowska won gold after crossing the finish line first in a time of 2:28:36 hours.
Luna Salpeter, after winning the bronze medal in the marathon at the World Championships, chose to compete in the European Championships which comes immediately after in the 10,000 meters at 22:45 tonight – and was absent from the competition for a distance of 42.2 km. Slamwit Biolyn Tepri will also compete in the 10,000 meters later.
