The Most Dramatic Women's 400m Final in Years | 51.68 Personal Best

Eight women. One lap. Everything on the line — and the fastest woman in this age group in all of Europe is right there in lane eight, daring anyone to beat her. This is as good as a junior 400m final gets. Charlotte Henrich, Johanna Martin, Anastazja Kus, Viktoria Kwarteng — four athletes who have been building toward this moment all season — face off in a race that will test every ounce of composure, speed endurance, and nerve they have. Martin is aggressive from the gun. Kus is dangerous. Kwarteng came into this on the back of a semi-final personal best. Henrich has taken a second and a half off her personal best this year alone. Someone is about to have the race of their life — and someone else is about to be heartbroken.
