European Championships, Gothenburg, Day 6

Goldie Sayers qualified for the javelin final - just - with 7th in group A and 12th spot overall. Only four competitors reached the automatic qualifying distance.

The triple jump was as good as over when Christian Olsson of Sweden opened up with 17.20m and followed with 17.67m on his second effort. Phillips Idowu went into third in round two with 17.01m and then improved by 1 centimetre in round three - but by this time his compatriot Nathan Douglas was firing on all cylinders - reaching out to 17.12m and then 17.21m. Phillips was unable to improve and when the Rumanian Oprea leaped 17.18m Phillips was left in 5th.
