Carsten Schlangen is the first German Miler who ran faster than the 3:37,00 that are required to be nominated for the European Championships this year.
On June 29th he clocked a 3:36,37 to win a meeting in Metz/FRA. Schlangen stated: “After 1.000m I was alone already. The first pacemaker did a very good job but the second one was too slow so I had to pass him early already. However, one the final stretch I had a much better kick than in my last race in Wattenscheid.”
Fellow Germans Moritz Waldmann (3:41,71 min/7th), Christoph Lohse (3:43,06 min/9th) and Georg Eberhardt (3:44,29 min/10th) were further back in the field.
