Today was a “golden” day for the red and black athletics, as two Albanian athletes dominated the Nikšić half-marathon in Montenegro.

In this difficult half-marathon, which is characterized by roads with considerable dislevelling, the two Albanian athletes Luiza Gega and David Nikolli were ranked first in their respective genders.

This result is quite important for Luiza Gega as it is at a delicate moment of the season, which culminates in July at the Olympic Games to be held in Paris.

As known, Gega has started the year quite well after receiving two gold medals at the Balkan Indoor Championships in Istanbul.

As for today’s race, the red and black athlete made the difference after the 14th kilometer by crossing the finish line 3 minutes ahead of the closest follower.

While David Nikolli, Balkan champion in the discipline of 3000 meters in Novi Pazar, Serbia in 2017, returns triumphantly as red and black, being declared Balkan champion in the 21 km race (half marathon).
