ATHLETICS. Indoor World Championships in Glasgow, Emirates Arena. Final day. Karin Strametz (pictured left), Styrian from the model home of Leibnitz, pushed her personal best time to exactly 8.00 seconds in the semifinals of the 60m hurdles, which meant she came 13th, but missed the final by only five hundredths of a second. With the exception of 60m sprinter Lindner, who was apparently overwhelmed by the magnitude of the moment, like Strametz, all-around athlete Mayr, 400m indoor record holder Gogl-Walli and sprinter Fuchs rose to the task and challenge, which would have deserved the highest recognition and also more media respect. Gogl-Walli’s sixth place in the World Cup was worth a full eight lines in the Sunday sports crown, but the spicy RedBull team boss Horner chat leaks story was a panoramic double page!
The Swedish high-flyer from Pittsburgh (USA), Armand Duplantis, demonstrated once again in Glasgow how well he can handle pressure.
