final
August 11, 2006, 7:25 pm
Europe record holder Simon Vroemen did not make the final due to an upset stomach. The Spaniards around the defending champion Antonio David Jiménez slowed down the pace to defeat the supposedly fastest in the field, the Frenchman Bouabdellah Tahri, in a sprint. As in the 10,000-meter run , this tactic meant that an outsider with great sprint force won the race. Jukka Keskisalo became the first Finnish European champion in this discipline - at the first European championships in 1934 this competition had not yet been held. There the two-time Finnish Olympic champion Volmari Iso-Hollo would have started as a high favorite, but the obstacle course was only included in the program at the second European championships in 1938 . Iso-Hollo's big days were over.
