Automatically saved draft
That's bitter! Olivia Gürth was eliminated in the preliminary heat of the 3000-meter hurdles. The reason: the German was already celebrating before the finish line and was overtaken by her competitors.
Gürth was well on the way to making it into the top 5 and thus into the final. She began to cheer shortly before the finish line. However, she overlooked the competition on the inside lane.
