Dutch sprinter Fleur Jong and Italian long jumper Martina Caironi set world records on day three of the European Para Athletics Championships in Bydgoszcz.

Jong won the women’s 100 metres T64 in 12.64sec - taking 0.14 off the mark she set last August, while Caironi set a mark of 5.06 metres in the women’s long jump T63.

"I feel great," said Jong, 25, who is making her European Championships debut.

"I didn’t even know how fast I was going.

"I was just thinking about how not to fall so I think that’s how fast I went."

Her next goal is the podium at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

"Well, I don’t have any medals at the Games yet so that’s a goal for me," she said.

"It is not important if it’s in the long jump, 100m race, or both.

"I just want a medal around my neck. I am working towards that."

It was another one-two podium for the Netherlands with Berlin 2018 European champion Marlene van Gansewinkel second in 12.80, followed by Spain’s Sara Andres Barrio in third clocking 12.93.

The result was a repeat of the men’s 100m T64 the day before when Dutch sprinters Olivier Hendriks and Levi Vloet took gold and silver.

Jong and Van Gansewinkel return to action tomorrow in search of another podium in the women’s long jump T64.

Caironi’s world record came in the opening event of the evening session.

It was the 31-year-old athlete’s first major gold in the long jump, in which she had previously won Paralympic silver at Rio 2016 and the 2015 World Championships, and two silvers and a bronze in the Europeans.

In the 100 metres T42 she won gold at the last two Paralympics, and also has two world and three European titles.

It was followed by three European records as Konstantinos Tzounis of Greece threw 42.71 metres in the men’s discus throw F56, Lucyna Konrobys of Poland threw 8.78m in the women’s shot put F34, and Ana Gradecak of Croatia won the women’s shot put F41 with 8.23m.

Championship records came from Britain’s Thomas Young, who won the men’s 100 metres T38 title in 11.03, Daniel Wagner of Denmark, who reached 7.15m in the men’s long jump T63, and Catherine Debrunner of Switzerland, who clocked 55.71 in the women’s 400m T53 final.

The morning session also saw wheelchair racer Beat Boesch from Switzerland win his third European title in the men’s 100m T52 with a new competition record of 17.66.

Russia’s Georgii Margiev broke another Championship record in the men’s high jump T47 as he cleared 1.94m.

World record holder Oksana Zubkovska of Ukraine won the women’s long jump T12 with a 5.57m effort, also a championship record.

Ukraine earned two more golds in the morning session as Oleksandr Lytvynenko won his second consecutive European title in the men’s long jump T36 with a personal best of 5.67m and Anastasiia Moskalenko successfully defended her title from Berlin 2018 in the women’s club throw F32 with 20.24m.

Refugee Para athlete Alia Issa ended the competition in fourth place with a 15.12m-throw, just 45 centimetres shy of a bronze medal.

"I feel sad about today. I wanted to do better, but I had some problems with my belt. I will go back to Greece and train even harder to do better in Tokyo," said Issa who achieved the minimum qualification standard for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.

"I am proud to represent all the refugees around the world in Tokyo 2020, I hope I will do better there," Issa added.

Serbia’s Saska Sokolov won the gold medal in the women’s 200m T47 in 25.56 on a photo-finish with Poland’s Alicja Jeromin, who clocked 25.57.

Britain’s Andre Fabienne got her first major Para athletics title in the women’s 100m T34 with a personal best of 18.94.

Czech Republic’s Eva Datinska bagged her second European gold, following victory in the women’s discus throw F38 with another in the shot put F37, reaching 10.20m.
