British runner Jessica Warner-Judd says she has been provisionally diagnosed with a form of epilepsy after suffering a seizure during the women’s European 10,000m final on Tuesday. <\/b><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old dropped out with 600m to go in Rome and while being assessed in the medical centre, said she had a further seizure which led to her being sedated and spending the night in hospital. <\/p>\n

Writing on X, formerly Twitter,, external<\/span><\/a> Warner-Judd added she was “not sure what the future holds [at the moment]”. <\/p>\n

In March, she suffered a similar mid-race seizure during a 10,000m event in the United States. <\/p>\n

Focal epilepsies are characterised by seizures in one area on one side of the brain, and can last between a few seconds and two minutes.<\/p>\n

“From getting the bus to the warm up track, I can’t explain it-something felt off!” wrote Warner-Judd, who is a two-time UK 10,000m champion. <\/p>\n

“I don’t remember much about the race apart from around 3k in, my head felt incredibly tight but I stubbornly persevered.” <\/p>\n

Warner-Judd thanked British Athletics and her family and friends for helping her through what she described as an “incredibly tough couple of months”. <\/p>\n

“I’m not sure what my year will look like, but I’m eager not to let this stop me and be back running soon,” she added. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
