beat Serghei Tarnovschi from Moldova and Catalin Chirila from Romania to reach the
highest podium position.
"Now I am really European
champion. I'm really happy, it's my eighth title in 500m and 11th totally. I'm
glad if I can compete in front of big and huge crowds, in front of my family,
and with friends. I hope that I will continue in these good races in the
future. In this season I had eight finals, eight medals, so I'm really happy.
I'm looking forward to a few days of rest before I start again with hard
training and prepare for Olympic qualifiers," said Fuksa.
