Spain's Laura Garcia-Caro missed out on a major medal in the 20km race walk, at the European Athletics Championships, just five metres from the finish line by starting the party prematurely. Garcia-Caro, in third place going into the final straight in Rome's Stadio Olimpico, began to celebrate what she thought was a bronze medal as she approached the finish line, However, her smile of joy as she waved the Spanish flag quickly faded as Ukraine's Lyudmila Olyanovska surged past her with just five metres to go, denying the 29-year-old a medal.
