Gold medallistBABAKOVA, Inga (UKR)
"This has been very diffciult for me, especially the qualification round in the heat. I have had only six months training as I have recently given birth to a child. Therefore I did not expect too much from these championships. The stadium is fine with a good atmosphere in which to jump. For me the result was good but I'm surprised that it was good enough for gold. So far I have had three bronze and two silvers at major championships and so this gold is very special for me".
Silver and bronze medallists
Both Yelesina (RUS) and Lapina (RUS) were taken straight to medal ceremony and then to doping control. No comments given.
