The final of 3000 obstacles this Wednesday at Olympic Games in Paris He did not see one of his references, the Ethiopian, standing on the podium Lamecha Girma. The Tokyo Olympic runner-up and triple world runner-up saw her Olympic dream dashed in the cruelest way.
At the start of the race, already on the last lap, Girma tried to escape the attack of Kenyan Abraham Kibiwot, who tried to leave on the back straight. In it, as usual, one of the obstacles of the test was placed.
HoweverGirma did not time the jump well, he crashed into the fence and was hit with a heavy blow which caused him to fall hard to the ground. The Ethiopian thus saw his desire to fight for medals with a powerful blow that was decisive for the final arrangement of the podium, with gold for the Moroccan Soufiane El Bakkali, silver for the American Kenneth Rooks and bronze for Kenyan Abraham Kibiwot.
Although, above all, the most worrying is the athlete’s health. He had to be taken off the court on a stretcher, leaving one of the most difficult images of the day.
