Spain’s Oscar Husillos earned European indoor 400 metres gold in Poland tonight - three years after he had seen victory in a European indoor record of 44.92sec disappear through disqualification for lane infringement at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham.
Husillos just managed to hold off a strong Dutch challenge from Tony Van Diepen and Liemarvin Bonevacia in a season’s best of 46.22, his expression swiftly changing from agonised effort to relieved joy in the spectator-free Torun Arena.
But if Dutch ambitions were thwarted in the men’s 400m there was no holding the Dutch phenomenon Femke Bol as she lived up to all expectations to win the women’s 400m final, improving her European 2021 best time by 0.01 second as she clocked a personal best of 50.63.
