Podravkaši čestitali Blanki na europskom zlatu

Svoju kolekciju medalja zbog koje joj se klanja cijeli atletski svijet Blanka Vlašić obogatila je i europskim zlatom. U samoj završnici europskog prvenstva u Barceloni nakon uzbudljive borbe Blanka je pobijedila s preskočena 203 centimetra ispred Šveđanke Emme Green i Njemice Ariane Friedrich koje su zastale na 201 centimetru.

Blanka se u Barceloni izdigla iznad svih svojih suparnica, posebice Tie Hellebaut koja je svojim igricama nastojala utjecati na mirnoću najbolje svjetske visašice, ali je pokazala da može pobijediti i kad joj baš ne ide. Naime Blanka je rušila letvicu na 195 i na 197 centimetara, čak je, kako je kasnije sama priznala, u jednom trenutku pomislila da se opet oprašta od europske medalje. No svoju pravu snagu i vrijednost pokazala je na visinama preko dva metra. Od prve je preskočila 201 centimetar, a u drugom pokušaju savladala je 203 što je ostalim protivnicama bilo nedostižno.

Prvu zlatnu medalju s europskih prvenstava Blanka je proslavila vrlo emotivno, a osjećaje sreće i zadovoljstva nije skrivala ni danas po dolasku u Split. U zračnoj luci uz članove obitelji dočekali su se predstavnici matičnog kluba, grada i Podravke. Riječi zahvalnosti u ime Studene koja je vjerni Blankin pratitelj već niz godina uputili su Ljubomir Barić i Maja Bulić, razveselivši prvakinju i buketom omiljenog cvijeća.
