An Italian has won one of the most challenging finals
Libania Grenot won one of the most challenging finals since the beginning of the World Military Track and Field Championship in Sofia. The Italian champion in 400 m won in a dramatic race the best Bulgarian in this discipline, Vanya Stambolova, who is the European champion of “Göteborg 2006”. Grenot finished with 51.29 sec., and Stambolova’s result is 51.47 sec. The results of both competitors beat the former record of the World Military Championships. Stambolova was the winner of the 400 m hurdles race the previous day with 55.30 sec.
The final of men’s 4x100 relay was also extremely interesting. After all, the joy of the Brazilian quartet (Oliveira Renan, Bruno Pachero, Rodrigo Pereira and Andre Nilson) was tremendous, after they finished with 40.00 sec. taking the first place, followed by the Poles (40.28 sec.) and the Belgian team (40.36 sec.).
