German long jumper Bianca Kappler should get a gold medal for honesty.

Kappler was awarded gold Saturday at the European Indoor Championships for a leap of 22 feet, 10 inches on her final of six attempts. But she protested, telling judges that she deserved silver because she couldn't jump more than 21-11 1/2 or 21-11 3/4. She was seen looking at the electronic scoreboard in disbelief and laughing at the result.
