Drama Unfolds at Stade de France

Published: 2024-08-05

At the Stade de France, the crowd erupted as Armand Duplantis claimed gold and set a new world record.

The women's 5000 meters race was filled with drama, highlighted by the disqualification of Faith Kipyegon for pushing her rival, Tsegay.

This decision initially allowed Italian runner Nadia Battocletti to celebrate a surprise bronze medal.

However, after a successful appeal from Kenya, the outcome remains uncertain.

Battocletti, who has trained for years and holds the Italian record, finished fourth but showcased her incredible talent and determination.

Despite the challenges, she hopes to inspire others, proving that she can compete with the world's best athletes.
