I didn't think Great Britain were competing in non-olympic sports

Ticket prices for ski jumping are between 50-90 PLN so basically less than 20 Euro for the most expensive ones

Quite a drop. Only Japan were better than Britain in the early 1980s.

I'm more surprised we didn't let our ego get in the way and reject the quota.

Polish Minister of Sport has said Russian athletes will be allowed to participate in EG (and the fencing World Cup) if they sign a special declaration they are against the war in Ukraine AND the war crimes committed by Putin according to the International Criminal Court. Well, you can stick a fork in anyone signing that document especially that Russia (just like USA, China or India) doesn't recognize ICC to begin with

Agree, that is really asking people to stick a target on their back, Polish Government should really have known better given Poland’s Communist history when such Declarations were demanded almost weekly.

EOC released some info on a couple of sports today: https://www.eurolympic.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2023_04_04_Participation_Sports_KM2023.pdf

 

An interesting highlight: “Medals will be awarded to the three best athletes (across all three divisions) of each
individual discipline. However, no medal ceremonies will be arranged. Medals will be counted in the official medal table of the 2023 European Games.”
