Women's 5,000m Final | Munich 2022 | Konstanze Klosterhalfen

The darling of German Athletics had a night to remember as she was roared home to gold in the women's 5,000m at the 2022 European Athletics Championships in Munich.

The 25-year-old, who was so disappointed at finishing one place off a medal in the earlier 10,000m, came home in 14:50.47 after a long pursuit of Yasemin Can.

On the home straight Klosterhalfen - who failed to qualify from last month’s World Championship 5,000m heats after recovering from coronavirus - had made her move and passed the Turkish runner, and the decibel level rose.

Can finished second in 14:56.91 and an exhausted Eilish McColgan, who now has Commonwealth gold and silver and European silver and bronze, came third in 14:59.34.
