| Luiza Gega holding the Albanian national flag after the win in Oran |
As expected, the 3000 meters steeplechase race at the Oran 2022 Mediterranean Games did not present any surprises. Luiza Gega gave the gold medal to Albania in a totally dominated competition.
Gega performed another phenomenal performance as he also set a new national record with a time of 9:14.29, thus improving the result of a month ago of 9:15.48 that he had achieved in Hengelo, Holland.
This is Luiza Gega's second gold medal in a row at the Mediterranean Games, that of "Tarragona 2018", with the red and black athlete going through an extraordinary form.
