Belgium shot put and hammer throw champion Jolien Boumkwo displayed great team spirit at the European Championships in Poland when she stepped up to run the 100-meter hurdles and save her team from getting disqualified.
Boumkwo appeared all smiles as she carefully attempted each hurdle Saturday. The 29-year-old finished the race without knocking any of the hurdles down in 32.81 seconds, 19 seconds after winning sprinter Teresa Errandonea of Spain.

Boumkwo agreed to compete when Belgium's two hurdlers had to pull out due to injury. Had no Belgian athlete competed in the event, the team would have been disqualified.

I appreciate that she left all the hurdles standing.
Good effort.
Good effort.

Big girl has some hops. She could have plowed through some, if not all of them. Because she’s a legitimate world class athlete, she ran a honorable race, and completed a very difficult event.

Kudos to her. Talk about putting the team above oneself. She knew she didn't have a chance to win, and that she may potentially embarrass herself, but she didn't care about that at all.

That's nice but nobody was really going to hold it against her.
