Athlete Luiza Gega took part on Saturday in the 3000 meter race at the "Manchester World Indoor Tour" in England, ranking second.

Gega managed to catch the time 8: 47.53, a result that gives him the opportunity to secure a ticket to the World Indoor Championships to be held in the coming months in Belgrade. The norm of the Indoor World Cup is 8: 49.00, while Gega is the only Albanian athlete who scores a result within the norms.

Gega starts the new season in shape, while on February 4 it is expected to have the next race in Miramas, France.

Recall that last year, Gega scored the highest result in the history of Albanian athletics at the Olympic Games. Our country was represented for the first time in Tokyo.
