– I don’t think I’ve ever had this much pain in my entire life. It feels like someone has died, but it hasn’t. I am completely devastated. That’s the worst that can happen. I always tend to start quickly and I wasn’t sure if it was me. But it’s always me, says Andrea Rooth to news. The 20-year-old great talent wipes the tears that roll down his cheeks after the disappointment in Munich. She saw the possibility of progressing to a near sensational semi-final after the first two heats which were not terrific. But then there was trouble. – I know myself… I don’t know if I react too quickly or start stealing. Sometimes I feel like I don’t jumpstart, but then I do anyway. There are different rules and you follow a machine. PROTESTER: Andrea Rooth asked the referee for a second chance.

The biggest race of his career, said news commentator Jann Post live. But the 20-year-old pointed to her ear and thought she was disturbed, and asked to be given the opportunity to run anyway. She got – as Amalie Iuel did in the Tokyo Olympics – a second chance and postponed a potential disqualification. – I felt I was tough for filing a protest. It’s an opportunity I only get once, so I just had to, says Rooth, who thought it ruined her race. – I’m not giving up on this here, and was allowed to run. I went down the block again and completely lost focus. The disqualification came after the race. – No pleasant pictures She hung on well with the other runners at the start, but had a tough time over the last hurdles and crossed the finish line second last in the third of three test heats. When she moved up towards the press zone, the tears came: – Now the emotions come and there are no pleasant pictures we are witnessing now, commented news expert Christina Vukicevic Demidov. DRIED TEARS: Andrea Rooth struggled to contain her emotions after the race. Photo: Javad Parsa / NTB – There is so much noise in here. It’s the first time I’ve run at such a big event, so it’s never completely quiet, explains Rooth, and says she was confused that all the noise from the stadium. Rooth has a personal best of 13.11 and a season best of 13.18 seconds. The last place in the semi-final went with a time of 13.37. – I feel in great shape and have done great in training. Everything indicated that I should run 12. I felt in perse shape. It was something delicious.
