Btw, where is Gesa-Felicitas Krause? Injured?

Sadly, ill. A few days before the EC she posted on her Instagram site, that she is not well and has to focus on her health. She barely competed the whole summer anyway and in retrospective it seems to me a miracle, that she still made it in the Eugene final.

Surely the first 100 m final ever where all medalists were 0.01 apart...?

Yeah, these kind of close races are normally reserved for 5000 metres: 2016 European Athletics Championships – Men's 5000 metres - Wikipedia

Pia Skrzyszowska wins 100H SF2

Not a single knocked down hurdle in a women's race. Almost per usual. Meanwhile, the men's races have hurdles flying everywhere.

 

This needs to stop.

Well, women's hurdles are smaller after all

Too small compared to the men's event. It makes for a different discipline.

Either lower the men's or raise the women's, so to give the events at least some resemblance.
