At the European Team Championships, Belgium launched its shot putter over 100 m hurdles. This was rewarded with 2 points.
Shot putter Jolien Boumkwo caused enthusiasm at the European Team Championships in Chorzow, Poland, with a hopeless trip to the hurdle sprint. The Belgian ended up in last place over 100 m in 32.81 seconds by a wide margin, but secured 2 points for her team.
Anne Zagre was supposed to start for Belgium. The former U20 European Champion had to sit out injured. Because no replacement was available, Boumkwo jumped in spontaneously, leisurely climbed over the hurdles – and was celebrated by the fans.
My team is the most important thing for me.
“My team is the most important thing for me,” said the 29-year-old: “I couldn’t let us lose a point. There was no risk for me if I took it easy.”
Boumkwo, who is also the Belgian hammer throw champion, finished seventh in the shot put on Friday.
