Mohamed Attaoui wins bronze in 800m at European Athletics Championships
At the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, Spanish athlete Mohamed Attaoui secured the bronze medal in the men's 800 meters final with a time of 1:45.71. The race was won by Ireland's Mark English (1:45.26), followed by Croatia's Marino Bloudek in second place (1:45.62). Attaoui, who previously won silver at the 2024 European Championships in Rome, expressed mixed emotions, noting that while he was happy to medal after a difficult season, he had hoped to compete for the gold.
Spanish teammate David Barroso finished closely behind in fourth place with a time of 1:45.75. The competition was notably affected by the absence of British favorite Max Burgin, who was unable to start due to an injury sustained during warm-ups.
Other notable results from the event include Paula Sevilla setting a personal record in the 400 meters semifinals, and Dani Arce qualifying for the 3,000 meters steeplechase final. The championship continues with various scheduled events, including high jump and 10,000 meters finals.
