Sara Slott Petersen is finished at the WORLD championships in athletics, before it really began for the Danish star in the 400 meters of hedge.
Her initial heat ended up being her final race in Doha.
The large Danish medal hope has been disqualified after she sprinted to a second place finish in the time 55,28 seconds. A performance that in itself was enough to get in the semifinals.
But it did not go.
For OL-sølvvinderen from Rio forced one of the hedges on the foul show, and then dropped the hammer in the aftermath of the session, which was won by storfavoritten Dalilah Muhammad of the UNITED states.
the world champion was the only one who could defeat Sara Slott Petersen at the OLYMPICS in Brazil in 2016. Well three years later – under the night sky in Qatar – the Danish profile destroy it for themselves.

Petersen acknowledged in an interview with TV2, she had made several mistakes along the way.
Unfortunately for her, they heard not only in the department of ephemera. For the organizers, estimated that she had passed a hedge illegal along the way, and so was a semi-final ticket for a zero-bon.
Sara Slott Petersen’s trainer, Mikkel Larsen, stated to the tv channel, to the Danish athlete has appealed the decision.
But later Tuesday night, the message from the IAAF (The International Atletikforbund, red.) just as clear as it is sad: the Appeal is rejected.
Thus stands diskvalificeringen by power. Both the semifinals and the finals in the women’s 400 metres will be without Danish participation.
A sad and early end to the 32-year-old Castle, which even had to wait a long time to the doping control after the failure. Worse, she must now wait two years before she once again gets the chance to make their mark at a WORLD cup.
Ekstra Bladet has tried to get a comment from trainer Mikkel Larsen, but he has not been to make the telephone.
