Mujinga Kambundji retrospectively wins bronze over 60m at the 2017 European Indoor Championships in Belgrade.

Ukrainian Olessja Powch, who came second in Belgrade, was convicted of doping in August 2017 and suspended for four years. Following its defeat in the appeal process before the TAS International Sports Court, the world federation canceled its results from June 15, 2016. European Athletics adjusted the classifications, including those of the 2017 European Indoor Championships.
