Yesterday, I forgot to mention that this gold medal marks the best reward for Huberli's amazing return after suffering from pulmonary embolism at the end of 2019.
Today, 
Mol/Sorum are european champions for a fourth year in a row and they are the first team ever to achieve that. After their olympic gold, they defended their title at the european championships. A 2-1 set win in the final over 
Boermans/de Groot secured them the gold medal. The final was a tight match, the dutch team needed seven set points to take the second set, but they couldn't complete the upset in the third set. 
Kantor/Losiak took bronze beating Brouwer/Meeuwsen.
Betchart/Huberli are the new european champions with a 2-0 win over Stam/Schoon. The swiss team had previously saved two match points in their semifinal against 
Borger/Sude, to advance to the final. The german team took bronze with 2-1 win over 2019 european champions 
Kravcenoka/Graudina, after coming from a set down.
The title remains in Switzerland, Heidrich/Verge-Depre had won last year in Jurmala, but they didn't play this year after winning their olympic bronze. In Tokyo, they were the team to stop Betchart/Huberli in the round of 16.
Tomorrow, men's semifinals and medal matches will be contested. Mol/Sorum are the defending champions having won three times in a row in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Semifinals are Mol/Sorum- Brouwer/Meeuwsen and Kantor/Losiak-Boermans/de Groot. That means the Netherlands are guaranteed at least one medal. Semifinals are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, medal matches will follow in the evening.

Boston Marathon today! There's some international coverage. Now, if we get a race like the epic greatest-ever 2018 edition we will be lucky...... TV Coverage | Boston Athletic Association -
Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format. -
1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. -

Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. -

It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum. Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of. With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free. -

Will they do a swim-off? The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet. -

Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores. -
I'll give it a shot. On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free. James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable. Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55 Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them. The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore. Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59 On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances. Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free. The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91) Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86) Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14) Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400 Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.

I'm afraid something went wrong with editing results for the women's tournament and some are left from the previous week.
This week,
Graudina / Samoilova won silver, 
Huberli / Brunner were second last week. Furthermore, while 
Fernandez / Soria did win bronze, the text still mentions 
Alvarez / Moreno who were 4th last week.
