For the first time, Norway had two women reach the European Championship semifinals in the 100-meter hurdles. However, both Martine Kolbeinshavn Hjørnevik and Vilde Bøck failed to advance to the final. The athletes’ performance fell short of expectations despite the historic achievement of dual representation. Neither hurdler managed to secure a qualifying time or position in their respective heats. This outcome marks the end of their individual campaigns at the championship. Despite the disappointment, their semifinal appearance signifies progress for Norwegian athletics. The focus now shifts to other Norwegian athletes competing at the event.
