Gold and bronze! Nafi Thiam is once again crowned European heptathlon champion, and Norwegian Vedts also climbed to the podium.

Navi Thiam and Noor Vedets are ready for the Olympics! At the European Athletics Championships in Rome, they won gold and bronze respectively in the heptathlon. Thiam seized power early and easily maintained his place over the final 800 metres. Nour Vedets set 3 personal records and painted the podium black, yellow and red.

European Athletics Championships question for the Belgians: How will Nafie Thiam perform in Rome?

After a mediocre performance in the 100m hurdles, the multiple European, World and Olympic champion appeared to still have some rust on her body upon her return. But after the high jump, where she cleared 1.95 metres, she took power in the heptathlon.

She extended that lead in the shot put, where she recorded the second-largest distance. After finishing in the 10th fastest time in the 200 metres, Thiam finished the first day as leader.

In the long jump, the fifth event, Thiam simply continued her momentum. With a distance of 6.59 metres, she achieved the second-best jump, with only Switzerland’s Annick Kalin better with a championship record of 6.84 metres.

Meanwhile, Frenchwoman Oriana Lazraq-Khalas surprised everyone. After four personal records on the first day, she also achieved her best ever performances in the long jump and 800m final. Silver will eventually earn her.

Meanwhile, Norwegian Vedets has already set three personal records in the steeplechase, shot put and javelin events. She bragged about her third-place finish, which she achieved with gusto by winning the 800m final. For Vedets, a two-time world indoor pentathlon champion, this is her first medal at an outdoor championship.

Thiam finished fourth in the 800 meters and confirmed her third European heptathlon title with a championship record of 6,848 points. No one did that to her. “A historic achievement,” commentary duo David Naert and Elaine Berings call it.
