Katerina Stefanidis is once again among the best female athletes in Europe. Our champion after a sharp race took second place in the pole vault at the European Championships in Munich with a jump of 4.75. It was the 3rd medal for the Greek colors in the German organization.

Our 32-year-old champion was the first to clear 4.40, 4.55, 4.65, 4.70 and 4.75. And then… difficult things began. She failed at 4.80 and 24-year-old Vilma Murto of Finland cleared that height to take the gold, leaving the Greek in second place. The Finnish woman actually topped 4.85 points, which is a record for Finland. The bronze medal was won by Tina Sutei (Slovenia) with a score of 4.75.

With a jump of 13.71, Spiridula Karidis advanced to tomorrow’s triple jump final.
