Turkish athlete Tuğba Danışmaz qualified for the women's triple jump final at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham after recording 14.23 metres in qualification. Anadolu Agency's August 11 competition report says Danışmaz will return for the final on Thursday, August 13. European Athletics' live championship hub also places the women's triple jump qualification in the opening-day field-event programme.
What happened in qualification?
Danışmaz's 14.23-metre mark was sufficient to advance from the qualifying round. According to the schedule reported by Anadolu Agency, the final is due to begin at 21:40 in Türkiye. As event times can be adjusted by organisers, viewers should check the European Athletics live timetable again on competition day. This report does not state an unverified broadcast channel.
Triple jump requires athletes to complete the hop, step and jump phases in sequence. A qualifying result secures entry to the final but does not determine the final standings or a medal. Danışmaz's 14.23 metres refers only to her recorded performance in qualification. All finalists will contest a new series when the final begins.
When is the final?
European Athletics' Birmingham 2026 competition centre shows that the championships run from August 10 through August 16. Anadolu Agency gives August 13 as the date of the women's triple jump final and reports a 21:40 start time for audiences in Türkiye. Because the official timetable may be revised, the live results and timetable service remains the controlling source.
The championships are being held at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. European Athletics' final-entry material confirms that women's triple jump is among the field events on the programme. The World Athletics results centre also records the European Championships in Birmingham as an official competition running from August 10 to 16, 2026.
Türkiye's championship squad
Anadolu Agency's opening-day report says Türkiye has a 50-athlete team at the championships. That total covers the national delegation across multiple running, jumping and throwing disciplines. Danışmaz's qualification means Türkiye's participation in the women's triple jump continues beyond the opening round. Results from unrelated events are outside the scope of this report.
Danışmaz has represented Türkiye at major international competitions before, but previous performances do not establish a final result. This article therefore makes no medal prediction, ranking forecast or guaranteed-distance claim. Its scope is limited to the qualifying mark, the confirmed place in the final and the published timetable available on August 11.
Qualification and final are separate
The qualifying round determines which athletes progress under the competition rules. A distance recorded in qualification does not carry into the final standings. The 14.23-metre mark is therefore a confirmed advancement result, while the competition on August 13 begins a new ranking process based on valid attempts recorded during the final.
Officials enter measurements and attempt validity into the results system. A foul, wind reading or change in position becomes authoritative only through the live table. Those details cannot be established reliably from short social-media clips, so this report does not use unofficial measurements or inferred rankings.
Where can results be followed?
European Athletics' Birmingham 2026 live centre is the primary source for start lists, rounds, the timetable and results. The World Athletics competition record supports the event dates and official results framework. For a Turkish news record, Anadolu Agency reports both Danışmaz's 14.23-metre mark and the announced final schedule.
No final score, distance or medal should be treated as confirmed before the competition ends. Wind readings, valid and invalid attempts and rankings can change through the live system during the event. Mefico News will use only the official results table for any follow-up and will not present a prediction or social-media rumour as a completed result.
