Susanne is pictured above crossing the line to win silver in the final of the
women's 10,000m at the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg.
Her time of 30: 32.36 was a PB and brought her first medal at a major championship.
In what was a high quality race, 19 of the first 20 athletes remarkably posted either a PB,
a seasons best or a national record. She also finished 7th in the 5,000m.
The other athlete in shot is the bronze medal winner, Russia's Lidiya Grigoryeva.
