final

There were mainly two title contenders in this competition. The Frenchman Pierre-Ambroise Bosse was third at the European Championships in 2012 and competed here as the reigning world champion . The Pole Adam Kszczot won the European championship in 2014 and 2016 and was the runner-up world champion in 2017. The Briton Elliot Giles and Amel Tuka from Bosnia / Herzegovina, who had finished third and fourth at the last European championships, were already eliminated in the semi-finals . With Kszczot, Michał Rozmys and Mateusz Borkowski, three Poles had reached this final.
First, the Swede Andreas Kramer took the lead and was then replaced by Bosse. The 400-meter split of 53.14 s indicated a pure lane separation. Bosse stayed at the top and increased the pace significantly on the second lap. Before reaching the target bend, Kramer was in second place at the very front, Kszczot had now moved from sixth after four hundred meters to third position in a wait position. The field was still close together here. The Dane Andreas Bube followed in fourth ahead of Rozmys and Borkowski. In the final section Adam Kszczot once again showed his great sprint qualities and became European Champion for the third time in a row. Andreas Kramer was surprisingly able to defend his second place to the finish and thus won the silver medal in front of world champion Pierre-Ambroise Bosse. The two Poles Michał Rozmys and Mateusz Borkowski took fourth and fifth place. Andreas Bube was sixth ahead of the Spaniard Álvaro de Arriba and the Czech Lukáš Hodboď.
In view of the lost first lap, the winning time of 1: 44.59 seconds was surprisingly fast. Second-placed Andreas Kramer even set a new Swedish national record with a time of 1: 45.03 seconds.
