final

August 7, 2018, 9:30 p.m. CEST
Wind: ± 0.0 m / s

The group of favorites mainly included three sprinters . The Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers was the European champion of 2014 / 2016 , Vice World Champion in 2015 , World Championship -Third of 2017 . The British Dina Asher-Smith was the 200-meter European champion in 2016 and had the fastest semi-final time here in Berlin . The German Gina Lückenkemper was third in the European Championship over 200 meters in 2016 and, alongside Asher-Smith, was the only runner who ran under 11 seconds.

With a brilliant start, Asher-Smith was clearly ahead in the final from the start. It was very tight behind her. As so often, Lückenkemper did not come out of the blocks so well and first had to make up for her small starting deficit. Halfway through the course, Asher-Smith continued to lead clearly. Behind them were the two French Carolle Zahi and Orlann Ombissa-Dzangue, the Swiss Mujinga Kambundji, the British Imani-Lara Lansiquot, Schippers and Lückenkemper. Dina Asher-Smith easily brought her lead to the finish and became European champion. With 10.85 s she set a new British record and at the same time equalized the existing world annual best. In the fight for silver, Gina Lückenkemper prevailed against her competitors with a strong finish. With 10.98 s she set her own European U23 record from the semi-finals. Dafne Schippers won the bronze medal just a hundredth of a second behind her. Mujinga Kambundji was also not far behind in fourth with 11.05 s. The Dutch rider Jamile Samuel came fifth, ahead of Imani-Lara Lansiquot and the two French riders Carolle Zahi and Orlann Ombissa-Dzangue.
