Antigoni Drisbiotis tried in the first kilometers not to be affected by the frantic race of the race at the World Athletics Championships and for the most part was between 13th and 15th place.
Indeed, the experienced athlete entered the Olympic Stadium in 15th place, but failed to respond to the counterattack of Italian Michael. The Greek champion of Europe, however, made one of the best performance of her career at the distance of her second 20th year after 1.29.16.
At the end of the race, she stressed the following: “It was a performance I had on my feet I knew I could go, but not today. From February I had to walk so fast, I felt well in the race and I said to try it.
I went well to the 20s and not to the 35th. With today’s appearance it seemed like I could have done something good at 35. The problems we cannot avoid, sometimes the body goes beyond all the rest. It’s one of the best performance of my career. For the near future I have some things in my mind that I want to plan. “
