Raphael Pallitsch inspires with a new record at state championships!

St. Pölten, Österreich - An exciting weekend for the Austrian athletes: At the state championships in St. Pölten, newcomer Raphael Pallitsch stole the spotlight when he won the title over 3000 meters with an impressive time of 7: 48.14 minutes. From the strong start of the competition to the pace sharpening three rounds before the end, the Burgenland kept his competition in check, which not only gave him the victory but also the feeling of a perfect race, as he himself expressed: "We had agreed with the cruise control beforehand, and it worked wonderfully." Furthermore, Pallitsch also secured the gold medal over 1500 meters in 3: 52.67 minutes, which gave him an excellent last test in front of the European Halle Championship, reports Noen.at .

The glossy performance of Pallitsch not only took place in St. Pölten, but also took up internationally. At an indoor competition in Ostrava, he achieved a sensational improvement in an almost 40 -year -old Austrian record. "It was probably the best race of my career today," said Pallitsch proudly. "By improving the record for over a second, this is historically significant for me." The challenges of the race, especially the crowd at the start, could not stop him. "Three rounds before the end I noticed that I can keep the pace and go out for a great time. I am very happy," he added, which indicates his great potential for the upcoming international competitions, as Oelv.at reported.

further success of the athletes

In addition to Pallitsch's impressive performance, other athletes also showed excellent results. Magdalena Lindner won gold over 60 meters and in the sprint relay, while athlete Susanne Gogl-Walli achieved one of the fastest times of the day at the start of the half season over 400 meters with 52.63 seconds. Markus Fuchs from the Union St. Pölten also improved his best time over 60 meters to 6.67 seconds and thus secured a solid fifth place. These successes show that Austrian athletics is on an emerging course, both nationally and internationally.
