This is Alfons Juck’s review of day three of the European Champs. Nice to see Monsieur Mekhissi keep his kit on during the steeplechase. In the 2014, after winning the race, the French steepler was disqualified. The finest of European steeplers won the steeple in 2016, and was rewarded with the gold medal.

“I did not feel like I stepped on the line,” Churandy Martina.
“I knew there will be a million coaches who will say what I should have done but I still believe that starting at that height was a good decision,” Renaud Lavillnie.

RESULT OF THE DAY
10.90 by Dafne Schippers, nearly no wind, getting colder and no tough opposition.
