Her time of 13.20 in the semi finals was a national record and third all-time Youth best.[5] 16-year-old Italian Alessia Trost also became the host nation's first World Youth champion.[6]
Johan Rogestedt of Sweden became the first European ever to win the 800 metres, usually dominated by East African runners.[7] In high jump, Russian-born Dmitriy Kroyter became Israel's first world youth champion.
