Belgium ran out of hurdlers and then a shot-putter came to its rescue !!
Showcase of an amazing team spirit. Kudos !!
Belgian shot-putter and hammer throw champion Jolien Boumkwo completed a 100-meter hurdles race to keep her team from being disqualified in a charming demonstration of teamwork.
The team would have been disqualified if no beligian athlete had taken part in the competition.
When her team needed it the most, she showed up with a smiling face..
Boumkwo carefully attempted each hurdle, in her debut hurdle race on 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.
The audiences cheered for Boumkwo as she earned 2 points for the team in her debut hurdle race. She was congratulated by her rivals and applauded by all. these points could be very crucial.
