phelps 6,782 Posted May 19, 2019 #221 Share Posted May 19, 2019 European Cup 2019 (Alytus, LTU) as expected, Yohann Diniz dominated the men's 50k...he won with more than 8 min-margin over Dzmitry Dziubin...3rd was Joao Vieira further 1min40secs behind... but the most interesting race is the women's 50km, with Eleonora Giorgi leading from the start with good margin, but now Julia Takacs has cut down the distance to 1 minute with 3kms to go...and it looks that we're going to have an amazing head to head finish...

phelps 6,782 Posted May 19, 2019 #223 Share Posted May 19, 2019 and finally Eleonora Giorgi proved she was just controlling the race...she did even accelerate over the last couple of kilometers and not only won the event (at the end, she still is 56 seconds ahead of Julia Takacs, who also set a new PB and NR), but she also set a new European record destroying by more than a minute the older European best time, held by Inès Henrique, who ended up 3rd in today's race, almost 4 minutes behind Giorgi...

Gianlu33 3,570 Posted May 19, 2019 #224 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I am very disappointed by De Luca, I expected something more honestly. Great time for Giorgi at her 1st official race on the 50km, she can do a great WCh in Doha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
