Athletics EAA Team European Championships 1st League 2019

Disappointment for Ireland there, that was one of their big hopes.

Terrible run by Barr. He withdrew from the national championships a few weeks ago due to injury and that is the only explanation for that performance.

 moving in to 1st place with 32 points, in 2nd with 31 points and  and  both in 3rd with 30 points. So it's still very close.

 

Clear bottom 2 for now are  with 14 points and  with 11 points. Other two relegation spots are now for  and  with 21 points each.

Great run by Ciara... 9 points is much more than expected so makes up for Thomas Barr's shambles.

[Dennis 759]

Nice to see win the women's 100m even without Dafne Schippers.

[Dennis 759]

Three failed throws for Sterckendries in women's hammer throw.

0 points for Belgium in women's hammer after 3 no throws..... that's another set-back for them. For a team like Belgium, they can't afford such slips as they will already be in the relegation mix without such mishaps.

Really awful, all she needed to do was drop the hammer out of the circle for a point!

1 point would have been terrible too as her seeding was higher than that so i guess she factored in that was better to risk the loss of 1 point in order to gain a few. No luck though

False start in the men's 100m, at least the Belgian hammer thrower is not the only idiot here!

 

Augh, the Jamaican Turkish guy!  What on earth was he pressing it for, he is easliy the fastest guy there.
