Ana Cabecinha, from Clube Oriental de Pechão (COP), was in 8th place in the 20 kilometers march, in the European Athletics Championships, which are taking place in Berlin. The Algarvian Edna Barros, also a COP athlete, ended up giving up on the race that took place this Saturday morning, August 11th.
Ana Cabecinha was always in the front group, came to third place, and finished the race in 1h29m49s, 3m13s from the winner, the Spanish Maria Pérez.
The women's competition took place simultaneously with the men's competition, for safety reasons. The race was scheduled for 9:05 am in Berlin, but started only at 10:55 am due to a strong smell of gas in the refueling area.
