Josie Knight battled through the ‘biggest challenge’ she’d ever faced and wanting to fly home from Munich to secure a valiant fourth-place finish at the multi-sport European Championships.
The 25-year-old narrowly missed out on a medal in Saturday’s individual pursuit bronze showdown as she went down to Italian Vittoria Guazzini by 2.71s.
Knight clocked a personal best time of 3:25.231 to qualify fourth in the morning but was unable to emulate those exploits later in the day on Munich’s makeshift 200m track.
