Fabrizio Donato was 16.64 m short of ten centimeters to reach the final
final
August 12, 2006
The defending champion Christian Olsson was clearly superior to his competitors. He achieved the victory distance in the second round. His subsequent jumps were all overridden. In particular, his third attempt would have been even better than the winning distance. Olsson won the third gold medal for the host country Sweden at these European championships.
