Damjan Eror Shines with Two Gold Medals at U18 and U23 Championships in Salzburg

Damjan Eror mutates more and more into a golden boy. At the U18 and U23 championships in Salzburg, he was victorious over 3,000 and 1,500 meters.

Treated as a favorite by everyone, Damjan lived up to his role. “Two laps from the finish, the EYOF fixed candidate easily pulled away from its competitors and won in 9:11.50 minutes. This also saved the LAC Waidhofen athlete energy for the 1,500 meter run. Here, too, he proved his stamina and won the second gold medal of the weekend with a great finish. In doing so, he repeated what he had already achieved indoors in winter – junior champion over 3000m and 1500m. Eror already has six gold medals to his credit this year and is undefeated in Austrian title fights. Now it’s off to Livigno in Italy for 10 days with his training partner Denis Kronsteiner and trainer Milan Eror. The preparations for the European Youth Olympic Games, which will take place in Maribor (Slovenia) at the end of July, begin there. Club colleague Denis Kronsteiner was runner-up in the U23 over 5,000 meters. Sixth place jumped out over 1,500 meters. Prauchner with new

personal best time Nicole Prauchner from LC Neufurth is also a safe medal bank. In her best discipline over 800 meters, she ran to silver in the U23 class with 2:10.46 minutes. She set a new personal best the following day in the 1,500 meters. With a time of 4:41.14 minutes, she secured her second medal at the junior championships with bronze. Stankeviciute ran
