Domenika Mayer won the German 10,000m Championships

Domenika Mayer won the German 10,000m Championships in Mittweida with her personal best of 32:14.34 min.

The European indoor 3,000m champion Hanna Klein dropped out on her debut and European cross country champion Alina Reh faded to fifth in 33:21.43 min.

“It was fun, even if I don’t really like putting on the spikes. There were spectators everywhere and cheered us on. That pushed me. In my head, I was completely free. Then I accelerated on the last lap and it was enough”, said Domenika Mayer after the victory.

Domenika Mayer is arguably one of Europe’s most versatile distance runners. She was part of Germany’s gold medal-winning team in the marathon at the 2022 European Athletics Championships and she has recently been named on the German team for next month’s World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Austria.
