Israeli High Jumper Yonatan Kapitolnik Advances to European Championship Final
Israeli athlete Yonatan Kapitolnik achieved a significant milestone by qualifying for the final of the European Athletics Championships in high jump. On Tuesday, Kapitolnik cleared a height of 2.23 meters, securing second place in the qualification round of the competition held in Birmingham. This performance matched his personal best and marked his return to the European Championship final after two years. Previously, at the 2022 European Championships in Rome, he finished 12th after failing to clear 2.22 meters in the final.
In parallel, Israeli hurdler Sagi Lemdiel ran the 110-meter hurdles in 14.45 seconds, placing 21st in the heats and thus was eliminated from the competition. The European Athletics Championships continue in Birmingham with Kapitolnik set to compete for a medal in the high jump final.
