BIRMINGHAM - Italy celebrates its first-ever triumph in the women's triple jump at the European Championships. On the Birmingham arena, Dariya Derkach wins gold with a personal best of 14.60m (+1.9m) after a commanding performance from start to finish. At 33, after undergoing three Achilles tendon surgeries last season, the Italian athlete is having an unforgettable evening. In 2023, she won silver at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul. Derkach produced a fantastic run: a slightly windy 14.53m (+2.1m) at the start, then 14.48m (+1.3m) and a no-jump over 15 meters, until her breakthrough on her fourth jump, improving her personal best.
