Decathlon: Roman Šebrle fails to qualify for European Championships in Barcelona

Czech record holder Roman Šebrle withdrew from a decathlon meeting in Kladno, central Bohemia, on Tuesday, missing the last opportunity to qualify for the European Athletic Championships held in Barcelona in the summer. Šebrle, who pulled out due to a thigh injury after the first event, said he hoped he would be granted a wild card to be able to compete at the championships.
