In her fifth attempt, the British Jazmin Sawyers jumped 7.00 meters in the long jump final.
New world year best which meant EC gold and after the giant jump she could hardly believe her eyes.
- You didn't see it coming, she's doing the competition of her life.
She has been involved for a long time but has not been able to do it like this in a championship context before.
Seven meters is a barrier-breaking level, says SVT Sports expert Alhaji Jeng.
Sawyers won ahead of Larissa Iapichino of Italy who jumped 6.97 and third was Ivana Vuleta in 6.91.
"Did my best"
Medalist Khaddi Sagnia, who has been hampered by illness this week and felt crass before the final, was unable to make it in the final, finishing seventh in 6.57.
- It was nice to come here today, but I had no energy left, but used everything yesterday.
I didn't have a goal because the whole season was geared towards the EC, but if you get sick, you get sick.
It's not something you can change.
I did my best and made it to the final, says Sagnia to SVT Sport and continues:
- It was a great level in the final and it was real.
Then I had hoped that I would feel better to be able to load up better to be able to compete better, says Sagnia.
