Luxembourg sprinter Patriza van der Weken went to her blocks in the 60m and dominated her race from gun to the finish line before clocking 7.09, just 0.02 away from her national record set last month.

Behind van der Weken, Great Britain’s Bianca Williams and Portugal’s Lorene Bazolo finished second and third in 7.16 and 7.17, both personal bests.

The victory will be a big confidence boost as she seeks to become the Duchy’s first female medallist in the history of the European Athletics Indoor Championships, indeed at any major global or continental event.

Van der Weken earned enough points to be crowned champion of her event on this winters World Athletics Indoor Tour and a cheque for $10,000.
