we do not buy athleats there is the "Law of Return" that allows any jew to be able to become israeli citizen+being marry to a ctizen or being born here makes you eligable for citizenship as well so Taferi made "Alliyah" when he was 13, Luna is married to israeli citizen( she was not an athleat before and she stated after getting married , Blessing (200m) was born here, so i hope i made it all clear  buying Athleats and well represnting your country are two diffrent things 

Israel has unique citizenship laws but they do apply to everybody - not just people who are good at sport

Almost 50 years after the events of the 1972's OG we winning medals in Munich, and for one day there is a break from constantly talking about Football, so this is a great day for sure

after this first day there really shouldn't be any sort of significant challenge for Kaul

Even with a jinx he really shouldn't have a problem. I know, it's decathlon and injuries are unfortunately rather common, but so far I think he hasn't been plagued too much by that yet?

Nothing can possibly go wrong for Ehammer now....

Stefanidi with two misses on 4.40 and is on the verge on bombing out 

She has not been herself since the pandemic, skipped indoor seasons in 2021 and 2022. Her only major championships results were 4th at the Tokyo Olympics and 5th in Eugene, so actually not too bad but both times she had SBs.

 

Let's see if she can win a medal here. She won silver in 2014, gold in both 2016 and 2018 so it will be important for her although who knows. The level is low this year so it's a big chance for her.

 

We had 3 women in the 2018 pole vault final and won gold and silver there, this year we are just hoping Stefanidi can win some type of medal...

Tentoglou only 7.94 but still it was the 2nd best of everyone in qualifying. What a weak event. Anything other than gold would be a massive disappointment...

 

 

Good to see Anagnostopoulou make her third consecutive European Championships final 

Hoping she can be top 8 for the first time here...

 

 

All three Greek male triple jumpers under 16m 

Although 40 yo Tsiamis was actually very close to making the final. He said this would be his last season but now he hasn't made any official announcement, I wonder if he is thinking to continue another year or two...

I think European Athletics uploaded them during the recent European U18 Championships but then took them down after a while.
