2001 European Cup (athletics)

The 22 Athletics European Cup Super League or A-final was held on 23 and 24 June 2001 in the Weser stadium in Bremen and included 39 contests. Florence was originally intended as the venue, but the Italian Athletics Federation FIDAL had problems with the completion of the relevant stadium and had the alignment rights back. Thus, the Council of the European Athletic Association awarded the competition on 15 April 2000 at its meeting in Vienna to the Hanseatic city on the Weser, which had previously prevailed in the national decider against Nuremberg, Ulm and Erfurt. Despite constant very good weather conditions, the event met with only mediocre response in Bremen. The chairman of this co-organizing Bremer Athletics Association Matthias Reick estimated that a total of around 28,000 spectators had attended the competitions in the stadium on the two days. The total range of the European Cup in 2001 on TV was about 36 million TV contacts.

At the same time, the first League and the B-final met in Vaasa (Finland) and Budapest ( Hungary) and the 2nd league bzw.das C- final in Riga ( Latvia) and Nicosia (Cyprus).

Sporting highlights

As an outstanding sporting highlight of the audience to pursue the establishment of a new European cup record in the pole vault women by the Russian athlete Svetlana Feofanowa. Very surprising was the victory of the Italian 4-by- 100 - meter relay team of men over the favored team from the UK. As a successful sportswoman of the event, the German 400-meter runner Grit Breuer recorded with two gold medals. In the men for the first time Poland gained the foremost place overall. However, there was a small mistake at the presentation ceremony, the team was accidentally initially presented as a trophy wife. The competitions of the women were clearly dominated by the Russians, who could celebrate alone seven individual victories. For them it was (the time of the Soviet Union included in the calculation ) of the tenth victory overall and fifth in a row.

Doping

Due to a positive doping tests at Frenchman Christophe Cheval, the French team lost ten points and was downgraded to the 6th place with 87 points.

* WR: Stacy Dragila (United States of America ) 4.81 m (Palo Alto, 2001)

The initial height was 3.20 m with subsequent increases of each 20 centimeters to 3.80 meters, then was increased in four-inch increments up to 4.20 m. Had a few days earlier skipped already 4.57m in Athens on 11 June - - Only at 4.34 m already reigning European record holder Feofanowa rose as the last participant in the Contest. She made her entry height at the second attempt. Then there were some misunderstandings between her and the judges: Feofanowa wanted to miss the mark of 4.40 m, as Hamáčková and Whitlock both failed it and she was thus left alone in the competition. Due to the failed attempt at 4.34 meters, she had not yet won. The rules stipulated that in this case a uniform height increase is made; so should follow 4.46 m. However Feofanowa refused because she wanted a slightly lower height. The judges eventually settled hang up after lengthy discussions 4,52 m. This height she jumped at the second attempt and had won the competition. Now as the winner could choose their desired height easily and let the European record of 4.60 m hang up, which they jumped.
