You have much more faith in Gudžius than me, he hasn't been stepping up since his titles in 2017-2018   Plus, he's not handling the fact well that he's the nr. 2 Lithuanian now, every competition with Alekna in it and he's throwing far less than he's capable of. 

 

I have Ceh - Alekna - Stahl in my predictions.

We will see but I can easily see Ceh-Alekna-Gudzius

I always associated European women's 400m running with The Netherlands, so seeing that Klaver ran an NR today and it's not under 50s, it's not what I somehow had imagined in my head about NL 400m running.

The Netherlands had female 400m runners of any kind of international level before the current generation?

At least we agree that we don't see either of them top 2 this season  

 

Though Stahl could land a 70m throw himself and leave the less experienced youngsters behind him. We've still haven't seen how Ceh and Alekna handles themselves in THE MOST important competition.

I'm following Agnė Šerkšnienė for years now and it was always the girls from The Netherlands that cockblocked us from the finals, so that's where this association comes from  

 

De Witte is probably the biggest culprit of this, because I remember her the best  

[Monzanator 4,525]

Gold & bronze for in men's 10,000

[Grassmarket 3,448]

 Fisher must be kicking himself,  there was a medal there for him.

Might be because there's two of them

Nearly missed the podium positions because the Belgian commentator was going nuts for 25 minutes about Kimeli still being in the lead group  

[Werloc 3,171]

Damn, my favourite "any American athlete" finished 4th  no points from 10000m

Anyhow, I went through some recent and less recent results and now I see that I was wrong, but like if I didn't spot that NR sign near Klaver's name, I might have still thought that NL is dominating European 400m running at least until Munich
