This Saturday, Patricia Mamona won the bronze medal in the triple jump at the European indoor track in Istanbul, giving Portugal third place in the Turkish capital behind the gold medals of Pedro Pichardo and Oriol Dongmo.
European indoor champion, the Portuguese trio made their best attempt at 14.16 meters straight in the first jump, losing to Italy’s Daria Derkach (14.20) and Turkey’s Tugba Danismaz (14.31, a new national record). However, Patricia Mamona’s result was nowhere near her best result of the year on the indoor track set three weeks ago in Pombal at 14.41 metres.
With this podium, the Portuguese gets her third medal at the European Indoor Championships after silver in Belgrade 2017 and gold in Torun 2021.
