Stoat<p>At the European Athletics Team Championships, Belgium's hurdler was injured so their shot-putter Jolien Maliga Boumkwo stepped up to grab some points for the team in the 100m. They could have been disqualified without her effort. :blobcataww: </p><p>Vid © BBC Sport</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/EATC23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EATC23</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/JolienBoumkwo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JolienBoumkwo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Hurdles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hurdles</span></a></p>
