2006 European Athletics Championships – Men's 800 metres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Men's 800 metres
at the European Athletics Championships

The men's 800 metres at the 2006 European Athletics Championships were held at the Ullevi on August 10, 11 and August 13.

Originally, the Latvian delegation, representing Dmitrijs Milkevics (4th), issued a complaint because Bram Som stepped out of the track twice. Som and Ellis both also complained that Milkevics had blocked their way and pushed them. However, after long considerations by the jury, the result stood.

The winning margin was 0.03 seconds which with the conclusion of the 2024 championships remains the narrowest winning margin in the men's 800 metres at these championships since the introduction of fully automatic timing.
