Graz 2003: Jüngst and Dietsch win European Marathon Championships

The first decisions have been made at the European Bike Championships in Graz/Styria: In the marathon race, the Swiss unfortunately only cleared the leather medals. While Birgit Jüngst surprisingly beat her teammate Gunn-Rita Dahle, Thomas Dietsch prevailed against the Austrian Martin Kraler. Thomas Spichtig and Daniela Louis both finished an ungrateful fourth, while Pascal Cattin rode to fifth place just ten seconds behind Spichtig.
