Spanish race walker Laura García-Caro celebrated prematurely at the European Athletics Championship, thinking she won bronze in the 20 km race walk, but was overtaken by Ukraine's Lyudmila Olyanovska at the finish line. Olyanovska's victory serves as a reminder not to celebrate too soon, with the video of the incident going viral on social media. This race ended with Antonella Palmisano winning gold for Italy, Valentina Trapletti taking silver, and Olyanovska claiming the bronze. Olyanovska expressed the difficulty of her training conditions due to Russia's war with Ukraine but was glad to bring a medal home for her country.
