Pfungstadt: Stepanov runs the best time and approaches records!
Pfungstadt, Deutschland - Last weekend Alexander Stepanov from VfL Sindelfingen caused a stir in the athletics world. At the Merck Keufgala in Pfungstadt, he ran a new personal best of 1: 44.17 minutes over 800 meters. This not only represents an increase of almost two seconds compared to its previous best time, but is also the best time of a German middle stretcher for over 20 years, such as
On June 1st, Stepanov also set up a new record over 400 meters, with 46.85 seconds. Now he is planning to start twice at the U23 European Championship in Bergen and the World Cup in Tokyo. "I hope to run another 1: 44 time this season, everything depends on my shape, the weather and the competition," he says optimistically. Modern equipment, especially the new carbon spikes, offer athletes such as Stepanov additional performance promotion as long as they work technically cleanly. Despite health setbacks, including flu in winter and a patella tip syndrome, the young athlete seems to be on the right track. "Nils Schumann congratulated me on Instagram. I can hardly believe that I am so close to his time," he smiles. The victory in Pfungstadt went to Pieter Siks from Belgium with a time of 1: 44.09 minutes. For its part, Elija Ziem from Königsteiner LV placed 1: 50.25 minutes on the 21st place. Stepanov will hardly have time to sniff him, because the next competitions, including the team European Championship, the U23 European Championship and the German Championships, are already at the door. What an exciting time for this emerging athletics nation! Nordkurier mentions that Stepanov could not only break personal records with his run, but also exceed the expectations of the German athletics team. The coming weeks promise drama, talent and maybe even records. For every athletics fan, it is now exciting to observe how Alexander Stepanov develops and whether he can confirm his achievements at the upcoming championships. The athletics scene keeps your breath!
