European Athletics Championships 2006 / Results women

At the European Athletics Championships in 2006 , 23 women's competitions were held. The 3000 meter obstacle course was also added . The EM program for women and men was almost identical. There were deviations in the length of the short hurdles, in the weights of the throwing devices and in the number of all-around disciplines. Only the 50 km walk was reserved for men.

No Belgian had won gold since the first European Women's Championships in 1938 . Now, two days after winning the 100 meter title, Kim Gevaert was also able to confidently win 200 meters . At the finish she was expected by the high jumper Tia Hellebaut , who had won high jump gold immediately before the start of the 200-meter run . The two Belgians went on the lap of honor together.

Date: August 10, 6:50 p.m.

As with the men, the 400-meter run was the first competition for women in which none of the 2002 finalists reached the final. However, there were experienced relay runners at the start. The winner Vanya Stambolowa had consolidated her role as one of the favorites in the previous rounds. The biggest surprise is that the other favorite, Olga Saizewa, “only” won bronze. The Belarusian Ilona Ussowitsch had already set a new national record in the qualification (50.74 s) and then beat it again in the final.

Date: August 10, 8:05 p.m.

The Russian women were registered with the fastest times on the list of the best before the European Championships and only had to fear a slow race, because then the sprint force of the Spaniard Martínez had to be taken into account. Svetlana Cherkassova sacrificed her chances and gave the pacemaker. In the end she fell back to last place, but her teammates won gold and silver. The winner Olga Kotlyarova, a member of successful Russian 4 x 400 meter relay teams for years , came to her first major individual title after switching to the 800 meter distance .

Date: August 13, 3:55 p.m.

As in almost all women's races, the pace was accelerated from the start in this decision. After bronze in Munich in 2002, the two-time world champion was now able to win European championship gold. The Bulgarian Jordanova, fifth in Munich in 2002, took third place in the final sprint and prevented a Russian triple victory.

Of the eight winners, four runners had already taken part in the 10,000-meter run the previous Monday . The winner Marta Domínguez was able to successfully defend her title from 2002 . Born in Ethiopia, Elvan Abeylegesse had given up exhausted in the 10,000 meter run, but was able to recover sufficiently to win the first medal for Turkey at these European championships. The British Jo Pavey had ensured the decisive increase in pace, but could not run into the medal ranks.

First, the Irish Derval O'Rourke was led with a national record as the sole runner-up. After evaluating the two target photos , the German team filed a protest, which was granted. Kirsten Bolm also received silver.

Date: August 13, 2:50 p.m.

The finish in this race was very clear, after three relays did not reach the finish due to substitution errors. The Russian team was clearly superior to all other teams; it consisted exclusively of runners who had won medals at these European championships in the 100-meter or 200-meter run . The Swedish relay, consisting of two hurdlers, a high jumper and a heptathlete, had the most prominent line-up, but the changes were not certain and so the team only reached the goal with luck.

The Irish relay, which could not qualify for the final, ran in the run-up with 44.38 s Irish national record.

Immediately after the start, Ryta Turawa set himself apart from all pursuers in the stadium and went to a start-finish victory that was not endangered in any phase of the competition. Ryta Turawa is the sister of Alesja Turawa , who won the 3000 meter obstacle course in Gothenburg . Seventh-placed Polish Sylwia Korzeniowska set a new record. She is the younger sister of Robert Korzeniowski , who was European champion in the 50 km walk in 1998 and 2002 .

Date: August 11, 6:30 p.m.

In front of the home crowd, the defending champion Kajsa Bergqvist was a high favorite, but in a high-class competition with four jumpers over 2.01 m, like her compatriot Stefan Holm, she only won bronze in the high jump . The winner was the heptathlete Tia Hellebaut, who was able to set two national records in the final. In the last jump of the competition, the Bulgarian Wenelina Wenewa failed just 2.05 m and thus missed the first high jump gold at the European Championships after Stefka Kostadinowa in 1986 for Bulgaria.

Deirdre Ryan jumped the Irish national record (1.92 m) in qualifying, but could not qualify for the final.

The defending champion Svetlana Feofanowa had her first failed attempt at 4.60 m and then played poker. But she could no longer achieve a valid jump and remained medalless. The second from 2002 and world record holder Jelena Isinbayeva only started at 4.60 m. After she had secured gold with a jump of 4.80 m, she tried three times without a chance at the new world record height of 5.02 m. Whether she really counted on a chance to set the record in the face of the rain or whether she just wanted to do the audience a favor remained unclear.

In the final there was only one female jumper who had reached the final at the 2002 European Championships . The Hungarian Tünde Vaszi was eliminated in ninth place in the preliminary fight . The two favored Russian women also came into the medal ranks, but were harassed by the Portuguese Naide Gomes. Gomes had already won medals in the hall, but here he won the first ever medal in jumping for Portugal at the European Open Air Championships.

In the first attempt, Nadine Kleinert took the lead, but could not improve afterwards. Petra Lammert took first position with 19.06 m in the second round. In the final battle she was overtaken by the two Belarusians. The reigning indoor world champion Natallja Charaneka won ahead of the reigning outdoor world champion Nadseja Astaptschuk. The German Nadine Kleinert was sixth at the European Championships for the third time in a row. In a competition with few highlights - which was certainly also due to the weather - only the Italian Assunta Legnante exceeded her personal best of the year.

Date: August 10, 7:30 p.m.

The list of participants showed some female throwers with years of experience. The tenth-placed Belarusian Iryna Jattschanka (40 years old) and the sixth-placed Belarusian Elina Swerava (45 years old) were both in the ring at the 1990 European Championships for the Soviet Union. The German Franka Dietzsch (38 years old) and the Romanian Nicoleta Grasu (34 years old) reached the podium as in 1998 . Franka Dietzsch went into the competition as the world's best of the year, but did not live up to her role. The 21-year-old winner Darja Pishchalnikova - she achieved a personal best - has been successful since 2001 when she became European youth champion and vice world champion. The eighth-placed Serbian Dragana Tomašević set a new national record (63.63 m) in qualification.

Barbora Špotáková and Steffi Nerius were already clearly superior to all other participants in the qualification. The Czech had even set a new national record with 66.12 m.

In the final, the Czech took the lead straight away, but couldn't improve. Nerius took the lead in the fifth round and won her first gold medal with her season best in her third final. The battle for the bronze medal, surprisingly won by the Spaniard Mercedes Chilla, was just as exciting. She also threw her season best and was the first Spanish woman ever to win a medal in a throwing discipline.

The first all-around competition, the heptathlon women, began on the first day of competition. The Swedish Olympic and World Champion Carolina Klüft, who achieved her best performance of the season at the end, was the big favorite for gold . The French Eunice Barber , who was rated as the strongest competitor, had to end the competition because of an injury after two disciplines - in which she achieved very good results. In a dramatic finish in the last discipline, the 800-meter run , the German Lilli Schwarzkopf missed the silver medal against the Dutch Karin Ruckstuhl by only two tenths of a second. Both finished the competition with personal bests. The Dutch woman improved her own national record. The second German Jennifer Oeser improved her best performances in four disciplines and thus also her own best mark in the overall result by 125 points. The Ukrainian Natalja Dobrynska achieved a personal best of the season.
