ANKARA
Türkiye qualified for the final in the men’s 4×100 meters after an accepted objection at the 2022 European Athletics Championships on Friday.
Türkiye, which finished seventh at 39.5 seconds in the men’s 4×100 meters relay second heat, submitted an objection over a Finnish athlete unintentionally blocking Turkish athlete Emre Zafer Barnes during a flag change.
Officials who ruled in favor of Türkiye’s position decided that the race should be re-run.
After finishing the race fifth, Italy filed an objection to the re-run decision, but it was not accepted.
The Turkish team, with Emre Zafer Barnes, Jak Ali Harvey, Kayhan Ozer, and Ertan Ozkan, managed to reach the finals in the 4×100 meters relay with a time of 38.98 in the re-run.
Türkiye will compete in the men’s 4×100 meters final on Sunday.
