Austria, Ireland top 3rd Division at Silesia 2023 European Championships

Posted : 20 June 2023
During the morning sessions of the 3rd Division competition at the Silesia 2023 European Athletics Team Championships, Austria and Ireland emerged as frontrunners, while Israel secured the third promotion spot.
 
In challenging conditions with temperatures reaching 30°C and 40% humidity, Austria claimed three victories, accumulating 159 points, edging ahead of Ireland by three points. Israel held the third promotion place, maintaining a 9.5-point lead over Malta.
 
Markus Fuchs, aiming for a 100/200m double, won the highly anticipated 100m race with a time of 10.36, narrowly defeating Ireland's European finalist, Israel Olatunde, by 0.01 seconds.
 
Austria's point tally reached 146, putting them four points ahead of Ireland, while Israel maintained their position at 119 points after Blessing Afrifah, the world U20 200m champion, was disqualified for a false start.
 
Fuchs expressed satisfaction with his victory but acknowledged the challenging conditions, citing the heat as a factor that affected his time.
 
He emphasized the importance of contributing to the national team's point total and expressed confidence in Austria's promotion prospects, highlighting the team's talented young athletes.
 
The final event saw Azerbaijan's Hanna Skydan win with a sixth-round throw of 71.69m. Ireland's Nicola Tuthill, a 19-year-old athlete who trains on her family's farm, achieved an impressive second place with a national U23 record of 67.85m.

However, the overall gain for Ireland was marginal, as Austria's Bettina Weber finished third with a distance of 59.09m.
