Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The Lower Austrian finished in 1:38.222 min. 1.403 sec. behind the Hungarian local hero Adam Varga and 0.143 sec. behind the Portuguese Fernando Pimenta. It is the 24-year-old's first international medal in the general class. The sisters Adriana and Ana-Roxana Lehaci narrowly missed out on a place in the 200 m final.
"I'm over the moon about the bronze medal. The field was extremely tight today - my run went perfectly for me," said Maurer.
"Timon was incredibly strong!"
ÖRV national coach Daniel Lipcsei had plenty of praise for his protégé: "Timon was incredibly strong. We've been working hard on fine-tuning his movements over the last few weeks and he managed to do it perfectly in the final of all things."
The top six remained within two seconds of each other. For Maurer, his performance also provides motivation for the World Championships scheduled for the end of August in Samarkand/Uzbekistan.
