Luiza Gega, the Albanian athletics champion, was also declared European champion, winning the gold medal this Saturday.

Gega has won a number of medals, including Mediterranean Games, Balkan competitions, runner-up of Europe, etc. But Saturday's medal reaches the peak in her career.

Gega made a fantastic appearance in the final of the 3000 meters with obstacles steeplechase, being declared European Champion in the event that is taking place in Munich.

The Albanian champion went to the final with the best time recorded in the qualifying phase and was the main contender to win this race. She showed this in the best way by dictating the pace and taking the lead after the first 100 meters, to leave behind all the rivals who were trying to snatch from her hands a medal that she had been chasing for a long time.
