final
August 10, 2018, 9:20 p.m. CEST
The favorites again included the 2016 European champion Natalija Pryschtschepa from Ukraine, the French runner-up European champion in 2016 Rénelle Lamote, the Polish Angelika Cichocka - who was sixth in the World Cup in 2017, the best European at this event, the British sixth in 2016 and eighth in the World Cup from 2017 Lynsey Sharp, Shelayna Oskan-Clarke, also from Great Britain, as fifth of the 2015 World Championships and thus best European at these World Championships. However, Cichocka had missed the final by one place in the first semifinal run.
Oskan-Clarke led the field for the first four hundred meters. The pace was not particularly fast, the intermediate time after one lap was 59.25 seconds. The group of nine runners was still close together here. This time there were not eight finalists, as usual, but nine finalists, because Sweden's Lovisa Lindh, who was third in the 2016 European Championship , was hindered in the semifinals and therefore had a special right to start. On the back straight, the Swiss Selina Büchel took the lead, Oskan-Clarke was second, followed by Lamote. The defending champion Pryschtschepa, who initially ran further back, has now improved to fourth position. All runners were still close together. And it stayed tight until the end. Natalija Pryschtschepa prevailed on the last hundred meters and thus defended her European title. The winning time of 2: 00.38 minutes was not particularly fast. Like two years ago, Rénelle Lamote became vice European champion. Her gap to the winner was 24 hundredths of a second. Bronze won another seventeen hundredths of a second back by Ukrainian Olha Lyachowa. The British Adelle Tracey finished fourth, she only missed a medal by seven hundredths of a second. Anna Sabat from Poland was fifth ahead of Linsey Sharp.
