Sebastian Hallmann finishes 104th in World Cross-Country Championships 2009

March 29, 2009

The only German entry to the 2009 World Cross-Country Championships in Amman (Jordan) – Sebastian Hallmann – took 104th place in the 12km-course of the senior men category. After going out quite bravely (only 8 seconds behind the leaders after 2km) he lost several places and was almost 4 1/2 minutes behind the eventual winner Gebregziabher Gerbremarian of Ethiopia.

The 32-year old will now concentrate on running track and aims to run sub 13:30 for the 5000m. Of course the aim is to qualify for the home World Championships in Berlin.
