Yesterday and today, we've held the Lithuanian u18 championship.

 

4 additional athletes qualified to the u18 ECH and we should have a team of probably 20 athletes there.

 

The highlight of the competition was Rugilė Miklyčiūtė breaking the Lithuanian NR in Pole Vault that was standing since 2012.

 

The new NR is 3.92 and it's the fifth best performance in the European U18 field so far.

 

Rugilė is also the very first Lithuanian pole vaulter to ever qualify for an athletics championship in any age group, we were always hilariously bad in this event, especially in the women's field.

Not often that anything Seb Coe says is worth listening to, but this is.  Also interesting is that the FINA document has language in it that also seems to rule out mixed-sex competitors, but I’m not up enough on the science to do anything other than stare blankly at the screen.

 

World Athletics president Lord Coe has hinted the sport could follow swimming in banning transgender women from elite female competitions, insisting "fairness is non-negotiable".

No-brainer. This multi-sport European Championships made no sense from the start and who knows how long that idea keeps going. Athletics is big enough it doesn't need to share the table with other sports.

 

Maybe they should have a multi-sport games? Perhaps you can call it the European Games? :p

European Championships U18 starting 4-8 July in Jerusalem.

 

The Dutch :NED team consists of 19 athletes in total.

Four of them are 400m hurdlers. Wonder if that's some sort of early Bol effect already.

The one that nobody ever wants to host?

To be serious, isn't it about time the European Games are abandoned?
