After the 80 metres race on Wednesday, when things did not go Regin’s way, he was differently and better prepared for the 600 metres today.
Although many strong runners were in the field, Regin was aiming for a medal place. (Medals are awarded to the top 6.) The race set off at a fast pace, and Regin kept up well. It soon became clear, however, that the three leaders were too strong, so Regin chose to bide his time and sat in 6th place, lying in wait. Towards the end Regin showed real fighting spirit and sprint strength, passing two boys in the final sprint to finish 4th in a time of 1:50.62. Truly a fine redemption and a well-deserved medal for Regin.
