World leader Werro reinstated into European 800m final after semi-final fall

Audrey Werro, the 22-year-old Swiss world leader who broke 1:54 twice in 2026, crashed on the final bend of her European Championships 800m semi-final in Birmingham and finished last. Appeal footage showed France's Anais Bourgoin struck Werro's right foot. Officials reinstated Werro into Friday's final, where Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson awaits.
