3rd place is a "WOW" debut, not "very nice".

Indeed. Very nice.

 

Pitty she looked too nervous (which is natural ofc, at her 19 to be invited to this level is definitely not something usual for slovak athletes) she started too slowly, but her last 400m was really awesome to watch.

 

Real shame that the Olympic standard is so harsh...not sure she´ ll be able to reach such time.

Awesome debut indeed, although one question arises: is this going to count for Slovakia's Diamond League statistics?  Because you know, technically she didn't compete in the Diamond League yet

Well, I didn´t know that. so to answer your question, I guess it can not be counted then
