European Athletics Championships
Pallitsch sensational sixth over 1,500 m
Raphael Pallitsch finished a strong sixth in the 1,500 meters at the European Athletics Championships in Rome on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old from Burgenland ran at the back of the field for a long time in the final with 16 participants, but thanks to a dream finish he came close to the medals. The Norwegian top star Jakob Ingebrigtsen confidently lived up to his role as favorite, silver went to the Belgian Jochem Vermeulen, bronze to the Italian Pietro Arese.
Also sixth in the heats
Pallitsch was also sixth in his preliminary heat on Monday, and in the final heat he only just missed his personal record of 3:33.59 minutes, which he set in Ostrava on May 28th, with a time of 3:33.60 minutes.
