Munich - Anja Osterman finished third in the women's 500-metre kayak event at the European Championship on Sunday, to add bronze to the silver she won in the 200-metre event the day before.

As the competitors crossed the finish line Osterman appeared to have missed bronze by a whisker, but the photo finish showed her neck-and-neck with Emma Jorgensen of Denmark.

They will share the bronze medal and share the podium with the winner, Poland's Anna Paulawska, and the Hungarian Eszter Rendessy.
