Gina Lückenkemper won the 100 meters in a strong 10.93 seconds at the 27th Anhalt Meeting in Dessau-Roßlau. However, as the tailwind of 2.5 meters per second was too strong, Patrizia van der Weken from Luxembourg retained the meeting record of 11.02 seconds from 2023. "It's a shame that the meeting record is still not mine. But it's definitely something to build on and I'm looking forward to the next races," said Lückenkemper.
The 28-year-old's goal for the season is clear: "My big goal is Tokyo, where I want to finally reach the individual final," said the double European champion from 2022 and relay bronze medallist from the Olympic Games in Paris with a view to the World Athletics Championships, which will take place in Tokyo in September. Great Britain's Daryll Neita finished second in 11.00 seconds ahead of Sina Mayer, who ran 11.03 seconds.
