Sorry, I don’t know how to write “congratulations” in Russian (Harry Arndt, German team manager, could be a help for this), but Elvira Kolpakova (RUS) becomes the European Champion 2002 in 100 kilometres. Her finishing time of 7:24’50 (unofficial) is a personal best.
First Dutch runner, Veron Lust finished soon after her: Veron Lust in 7:27’. Second Dutch is Edward de Ruiter.
