Description:
Spanish racewalker Laura Garcia-Caro was left red-faced in Rome when she punched the air thinking she was about to win a European bronze medal – only to be overtaken just as she celebrated.<br/><br/>Garcia-Caro was well clear in third place when she entered the Stadio Olimpico for the final 400 meters of the women’s 20km race walk, the first medal event of these European Championships.<br/><br/>The 29-year-old, who was even handed a Spanish flag upon her arrival into the arena, was all smiles as she approached the finish, punching the air in delight and sticking out her tongue.<br/><br/>Yet unbeknown to Garcia-Caro, fast-finishing Lyudmyla Olyanovska had closed the gap on the home straight.<br/><br/>And at the very moment, Garcia-Caro celebrated with two meters to go, Olyanovska raced past her to nick the bronze.<br/><br/>'Today is a happy day for me winning this bronze medal.' Olyanovska said after the race.<br/><br/>'The most important thing is that I need to say a big thank you to my mother, my father, and the whole of Ukraine. It is a very emotional moment for me. <br/><br/>'Of course, I was tired in the last kilometer and last meters, but I wanted to win this medal for my country so much.'<br/><br/>Garcia-Caro could only look on in horror when it dawned on her she had just missed out on her first major medal.<br/><br/>Speaking after the event the Spaniard said: '‘I was really tired on the last lap. I did my best.'<br/><br/>‘The distraught look on Laura Garcia-Caro's face, she cannot believe it,’ said Tim Hutchings on BBC commentary.<br/><br/>‘Two metres from the line Garcia-Caro had her hands up in the air expecting to be on the podium.<br/><br/>‘She only realized with one stride to the line that Lyudmila Olyanovska was coming and she overhauled her!’<br/><br/>To the delight of the home crowd, the race was won by Italian Antonella Palmisano in 1hr 28.08min ahead of her countrywoman Valentina Trapletti, who claimed silver in 1:28.37.<br/><br/>Olyanovska, who served a four-year doping ban between 2015 and 2019, and Garcia-Caro were given the same times of 1:28.48.<br/><br/>But it was the athlete from Ukraine who added to her bronze medal from the 2015 World Championships.
