Gina Lückenkemper clearly missed the 100-meter final at the Athletics European Championships in Birmingham. According to Kicker, the sprinter had to dispel significant doubts about her form due to health issues resulting from a tick bite at the end of June.

In the final, British local hero Amy Hunt claimed the title. Lückenkemper, who had competed as the defending champion, fell short of expectations, leading to emotional moments for the athlete, as reported by Der Tagesspiegel.
