The darling of German Athletics had a night to remember as she was roared home to gold in the women's 5,000m at the 2022 European Athletics Championships in Munich.

The 25-year-old, who was so disappointed at finishing one place off a medal in the earlier 10,000m, came home in 14:50.47 after a long pursuit of Yasemin Can.

On the home straight Klosterhalfen - who failed to qualify from last month’s World Championship 5,000m heats after recovering from coronavirus - had made her move and passed the Turkish runner, and the decibel level rose.

Can finished second in 14:56.91 and an exhausted Eilish McColgan, who now has Commonwealth gold and silver and European silver and bronze, came third in 14:59.34.

  • The "darling of German athletics" - I couldn't have put this any better than this! That humbly lady is so much down to earth......
  • My favourite athlete for the past 5 years, how amazing to witness this - the run of her life !! I feel so happy for her, she deserves to be up there with the world leading runners. She is the best German runner of all time.

    Por fin la británica Yesemi Can ganó una medalla. Es luchadora, le mete ganas cada que compite pero en el remate siembre la han doblegado. Felicitaciones por ese luchado y merecido tercer lugar.
  • Oh What a beautiful smile on Klosterhausens face - well done young lady! To get the grit to go that bit faster on those last few metres, well done Konstansa. And don't forget all the other runners in this race - they did well too! PJS.🙂👍

    Unbelievable how she just keeps on running while all others can hardly stand after the finish
  • What an arena! What a group of fans! I hope the runners all PR. Don't know a lot of the runners but I see Ko Ko in there from Germany. She has a lot of fans back here in California.
