Krystian Zalewski won the European championship silver in men’s 3,000 m steeplechase. Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad lost his title in this competition because victory without a shirt
After the final run przeszkodowców in the memory of most viewers will be this picture: Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad before the last turn leads clearly, suddenly breaks up with chest T-shirt, puts it in the mouth for a moment, hands encourages the audience to cheer even more lively and so remarkable pose crosses the finish line.
first Frenchman was given a yellow card behavior, because there was little in these gestures of respect for opponents, more self-promotion , but such a card in athletics does not mean much, gold certainly does not take.
Mekhissi-Benabbad was obviously right to enjoy, because the European champion was left for the third time. When competed in the Olympics and world championships were always the Kenyans who take back his precious medals, but the Old Continent was still king.
The Spaniards recognized, however, that the master is not fitting t-shirt and wave run without a spare outfit sports, have protested that the jury found it reasonable and so with great joy did the French occupation disputes. On this occasion he got bronze Angel Muller, of course Spaniard.
We mainly looked hopefully at Krystian Zalewski, who wisely kept the leaders, to the last lap stand the pace. He lost his silver only in the middle of last straight when it overtook the second French (later the champion of Yoann Kowal), but regained them half an hour later after the disqualification Mekhissiego-Benabbada.
– Acquire this medal in such a strong competition very counts. I have no words to describe my joy. But dreams come true. I am very touched, even a little bit makes me want to cry. Many years I believed that I attain something in sport, now I believe even more. I hope that the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro will be another turning point and show that we have a strong runners in Poland. Disqualification during the World Cup in Moscow only strengthened me, gave more power and willingness to fight – he spoke to journalists Pole microphones.
Every medal – for the time being Poles nicely fill this standard, and if someone unhappy that too much is bronze, let calmly wait, soon there will be more precious metal.
After the Mekhissi-Benabbad made his disqualification ended the show, it seemed that it will be hard to break, but other emotions, however, appeared. On one side of the stadium Barbora Spotakova added to the world record, titles, Olympic and world championship gold first European championships, which she deserved to be called completely fulfilled the women’s javelin legend. It was not easy, especially when not known Serb Tatjana Jelaca in the fifth line improved the national record and nearly defeated the Czechs.
On the other hand, in the final run on the 110 m hurdles. lost the second brick French candidate for the gold Pascal Martignot-Lagarde (12.95 this season). Almost from the start mowing hurdles like fields of grain, he lost the rhythm and speed, and finally landed in fourth place. Champion was Russian Sergei Szubienkow and probably was a little surprised by his success.
