ZÜRICH 2014 – A race for the history books: Kariem Hussein wins gold at Letzigrund Stadium!

A Swiss was the athlete of the day on Friday night: Kariem Hussein took the 400m h title at a packed Letzigrund Stadium.

Only four Swiss athletes have won the European title before him: Fritz Schwab, Philippe Clerc, Werner Günthör, and Viktor Röthlin.

Hussein won his race in a new lifetime best of 48.95. A great triumph at his home arena, in front of his home crowd.

The second highlight for host country Switzerland was Mujinga Kambundji's new national record in the 200m. She ran 22.83, placing fifth in the final.
