Defending champion Moser fails early

class=”sc-97fd9fa8-0 jNFKxv”>

Angelica Moser has to pack her things early in the final of the pole vault at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul. The woman from Zurich jumps three times at a height of 4.60 m and finishes the competition in 6th place (4.45 m).

A coup like two years ago when the 25-year-old flew to EM gold in Torun is out of the question. Even at the entry height of 4.25 m, she struggles with two failed attempts. Angelica Moser had to have foot surgery at the end of last season. The re-entry did not go smoothly, she had to take a short break at the end of January.

Kälin misses the record, Mancini in the final

With 6.70 m, the all-round athlete Annik Kälin comes within 1 cm of the Swiss indoor record in the long jump qualification. In the women’s 800 m, two Swiss women, Audrey Werro and Lore Hoffmann, will be in the final on Sunday.

Pascal Mancini missed the final in 6.64 seconds as 12th of the semifinals. The protest of Swiss Athletics against the false start of 60m runner Enrico Güntert in the heats was approved. He was finally allowed to start solo again to qualify for the semi-finals. There the machine showed a false start twice for the sprinter of the LC Schaffhausen. The TV images show that the Swiss did not shoot out of the blocks too early, but the starting block wobbled.

Italy’s 100m Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs, who has a limp after the final, is surprisingly dominated in the 60m by his compatriot Samuele Ceccarelli. The 23-year-old Ceccarelli, who was virtually unknown until then, took gold in 6.48 seconds ahead of Jacobs (6.50) and Sweden’s Henrik Larsson (6.53). (SDA)
