Melissa Courtney-Bryant Claims 3,000m Silver After Chaotic Race at European Indoor Championships

The race was overshadowed by a horrific fall that left Dutch runner Maureen Koster unconscious, though she was later reported as responsive.

Melissa Courtney-Bryant secured silver in the 3,000m at the European Indoor Championships, finishing just 0.06 seconds behind Ireland's Sarah Healy.
The race saw a dramatic incident early on when Dutch athlete Maureen Koster fell, hit her head, and was rendered unconscious before being stretchered off the track.
Courtney-Bryant, who has a close friendship with Koster, described the fall as unsettling and said it caused heightened tension among the competitors.
The Dutch Athletics Federation later confirmed that Koster was conscious and responsive in the hospital following the incident.
The championships also saw Great Britain earn silver in the men’s 3,000m and the women’s 4x400m relay, while Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen claimed his seventh European Indoor title.
