Athletics EAA Team European Championships 1st League 2019

[Werloc 3,191]

Although, in a year with four of our best athletes injured (Airinė Palšytė) or recovering from injuries (Gudžius, Šerkšnienė, Virbalytė), 4 national records were smashed this year as well with new stars emerging

Only 1 sub-50s in the 400m hurdles (M). Are the conditions not good or is the field a bit weak?

Just posting some predictions without even really looking into the teams. I think it will be pretty close though between the teams. Norway might have the advantage from the home crowd.

Some thoughts after today:

 

• Today's winners:   and  are the teams that did the best today. They are the clear numbers 3 and 4 for me now.
   
• Today's losers: Maybe weird to say this as they are the #1 after today, but  might be my biggest disappointment of the day. Not because of the two finals which were contested today, but because of the preliminaries in all the sprint events. Maybe they saved energy for the finals? Might not be the case though as they missed 4 of them.
   
• Promotion:  still the clear favorite for me to get into the Superleague next year.  and  met the expectations so far. However,  and  are getting closer. Too bad only one team gets promoted, because these four teams would have had an intense battle for three spots.
   
• Relegation: If  wasn't saving energy, then  and  saw their chances of staying in this league increasing, with  being the favorite to stay in this division for me taking today's positive results into account.  also did well compared to other teams based on how close they were to their SBs, but I still don't see them finishing higher than last place.  met the expectations I'd say, with a positive outlier on the women's 400m compensating for the slightly disappointing women's 200m.

Well, I wouldn't call Morauskaitė an outlier, she is strong and her SB didn't look as good mainly because she was focusing on the 400m hurdles.

 

As for the 200m, it is not slightly disappointing, it is highly disappointing. Even with Agnė recovering from an injury, I would have never expected her to run closer to 25s, than 24s.

Can't wait for all those running events without Lithuania and our plummeting down the standings

[Grassmarket 4,082]

Well, good start for the home team!  

 

Ingebritsistan gets some help!
