Nadia Battocletti claimed the gold medal in the 5000 meters at the European Championships in Birmingham. Her success was met with enthusiasm, and the athlete described her race using evocative metaphors, comparing herself to a 'crow at the start and then an eagle'.

Marcell Jacobs, on the other hand, had to withdraw from the 100 meters final due to a hamstring injury felt during warm-up, thus preventing him from competing to the end. His situation has been reported by multiple sources.
