BELGRADE (Reuters) - Britain's Andy Pozzi put years of injury woes behind him to clinch the 60 metres hurdles gold medal at the European indoor athletics championships on Friday and claim his first international title. "I am over the moon to win my first title in my first European indoor championships," Pozzi told Reuters. Hungarian Anita Marton won an exciting women's shot put with a season's best throw of 19.28 metres, five centimetres short of a national record. “I am delighted to have won the title with the season's world leading shot as it was a very strong field,” an overjoyed Marton told Reuters. Belgium's Olympic heptathlon champion Nafissatou Thiam won the pentathlon gold with a total of 4,870 points.
