European Junior Championships Day 1

WGwEL's Eugene Ayanful was in action today in Novi Sad, Serbia on the first day of the European U/20 Championships. Eugene, who improved dramatically to 10.44 secs over 100m at Bedford recently when qualifying for these Championships, but suffered a slight injury to his hamstring in the final of the 200m at those trials, qualified this morning for this evening's semi-final as he placed 3rd in his heat with 10.63 secs into a strong headwind of -1.5 m/s. He then placed 2nd in his semi-final in 10.47 secs (-1.3) to gain automatic qualification for tomorrow's final. Eugene was the 2nd fastest of all the qualifiers and has drawn lane six for the final which will include all three British representatives.
