Tatyana MINEYEVA
I was affraid, because I had two warnings. The first one I didn´t expect at all. The Spanish Takacs had similar style as me, and she didn´t become any warnings. The last kilometer I walked very slow, I was affraid of disqualification. The hot weather didn´t affect the race. I´m used to even more hot conditions.
Nina OKHOTNIKOVA
Technically I was ok, I became just one warning. 400 meters before the finish I´ve got stomach problems, I had to get slower. I was looking back at Tsakacs, who came closer. The track was neverending for me. I´m happy to defend the second place.
