Gesa-Felicitas Krause jumps over a barrier on the back straight in the final of
the women's 3,000 metres steeplechase ahead of the runner up Luiza Gega
(setting a National record).
Gesa-Felicitas herself was recording the fastest time in Europe thus far that year, though slower
than her best time of 9:19.25 set in Beijing 26th August 2015 at the World Championships.
(At the Olympics a month later she ran even faster.)
