Christian OLSSON - Sweden - 2006 European Championships Triple Jump Gold medal

The main photo above shows a delighted Christian celebrating after winning the gold medal in the mens Triple Jump at the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg. Olsen's success meant he retained the title he had won four years previously in Munich and was no doubt all the more special as it came in front of his home fans in Gothenburg. The jumping pictures also show Christian during the final. Great Britain's Nathan Douglas won the silver and Romania's Marian Oprea the bronze.
