Good performance overall for our team so far. Pretty much everyone is peaking here.

This is by far the most exciting league. Not for the top spot, because that's for . Then there are three countries following at a small distance:   and  

 

But behind those four teams there is an intense battle going on between 5 countries for three spots in the second league next year:     and  are very very close.  is doing the best out of those 5 so far, whereas  is performing the worst, but any of those teams have practically the same chances of staying in this league.

I am afraid it will be very difficult for Croatia to keep at least 7th rank. Austria and Cyprus have very strong disciplines tomorrow and usually our 2nd days is always weaker.

here my prediction looking at the start list of day 2 

I think everything will be decided in the relays: 

1st place will be between Estonia and Slovenia, Estonia will probably lose it in the relays and Slovenia will be promoted 

 

behind them pretty safe are Bulgaria and Denmark. 

 

Obviously Malta, Luxembourg and Georgia will be relegated, I do believe Cyprus will join them. 

The rest (Austria, Latvia, Croatia and Israel) will be decided in the relay. 

Latvia should perform best here. As Israel should have some buffer before the relay it will be between Croatia and Austria. I hope it’s Austria ?

Clear false start for Cypriot hurdler, and now she is having a hissy fit.
