BERLIN, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Israel's Lonah Chemtai Salpeter took the women's 10,000m gold in 31 minutes 43.29 seconds at the inaugural multi-sport European Championships in Berlin Olympic Stadium on Wednesday.

Netherlands' Susan Krumins clinched the silver in 31:52.55 followed by Sweden's Meraf Bahat in 32:19.34.

"I am really happy and very excited. My plan was to win, nothing else. It was a difficult race. I made the move and paced harder because I knew that if I do not do it, they would leave me on the last kilometre," Salpeter said after the race. Enditem
