- Because of apparently unresolved problems with the electronic entry authorization required for EU citizens, Petros reached Birmingham only the day before Sunday’s start.
- The downhill course, with many sharp turns, made it difficult for runners to find a rhythm, leading Petros to describe the race as exceptionally demanding and probably among the toughest of his career.
- After 25 kilometres, he pulled away from the field, won his first European Championship gold medal and set a championship record of 2:09:11.
- After arriving in Germany as an unaccompanied refugee from Ethiopia, Petros only discovered running at the age of 16.
