The distance runner Sara Moreira missed this Thursday the silver medal in the 5000 meters in the European Helsínquia'2012 and had to settle for the bronze, while celebrating too soon the end of the race.

Three laps from the end (about a thousand yards to the end), Moreira gave a "stretching" and started for the 300 meters title, but would be exceeded over the goal line by opponents of Eastern Europe.
The bronze Sara Moreira, who had also been third in Barcelona'2010, Portuguese is the 25th medal in 19 appearances in European athletics lusas outdoors.
