- Team faced disqualification until 29-year-old stepped up
- Teammates had to withdraw because of injury
Belgium shot put and hammer throw champion Jolien Boumkwo showed her team spirit at the European Championships in Poland when she stepped up to run the 100m hurdles and save her team from getting disqualified.
Boumkwo smiled as she carefully attempted each hurdle on Saturday. The 29-year-old finished the race without knocking any of the hurdles down in 32.81 seconds. That was 19 seconds after the winner, Teresa Errandonea of Spain.
