One thing I hate about British Athletics is not letting athletes compete who have met the standard or been invited because they won't win or make the top 8 or 10, especially at meets like this.  

We shall have to wait - there’s usually a second tranche of athletes invited when the organisers try to sort out the numbers.

Well from what Reynold Banigo's agent has said on twitter it's not looking like there's gonna be.

Lithuania decides to eliminate the track from track & field as Morauskaitė is injured and Keršulis is staying in the United States.

 

Our team consists of five athletes:

 

Juozas Baikštys - High Jump (possibly recovering from an injury, not jumping high at all as of yet)

Urtė Baikštytė - High Jump (lost to Palšytė last weekend)

Jogailė Petrokaitė - Long Jump

Aina Grikšaitė - Triple Jump (had her first 14+ meter jump last weekend at the Lithuanian indoor championships)

Dovilė Kilty - Triple Jump (lost to Aina)

And Diana Zagainova got in through the rating system after two additional athletes declined. So three Lithuanian women in the triple jump.

Are we confident that championships will actually take place, considering other championships in Turkey got cancelled at the last minute due devastating aftermaths of the earthquake.

Greece used to always do that too, I'm glad we seem to have stopped doing that in recent years.

 TEAM GREECE 

 

Men:

60m: Ioannis Nyfantopoulos (GS Eleftherios Venizelos)

400m: Andrianna Ferra (Pannaxiakos), Irini Vasiliou (Ameinias Mesogeion)

3000m: Anastasia Marinakou (Panathinaikos)

60m Hurdles: Anais Karagianni (AEK), Elisavet Pesiridou (GS Ilioupolis)

Pole Vault: Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou (AGES Kameiros 2009), Ekaterini Stefanidi (AO Filotheis)

Tatiana Gusin also qualified in the high jump but withdrew due to injury. Surprised to see Ferra here as she has not yet competed in 2023.

 

Tentoglou is a big favourite for gold. Karalis and Stefanidi also should have chances for medals. It's crazy to see Tsiamis still competing at a high level at age 41. I have high hopes for our teenager Emmanouilidou, who improved her PB this season three times, from 7.49 to 7.39, then to 7.37, and then 7.30.

Where is the usual European-Athletics.com page with Timetable & Results (which is usually together in one handy page, which also includes start lists and such so one can also easily follow it when not live)?

https://www.european-athletics.com/competitions/european-athletics-indoor-championships/overview

 

All kinds of stuff but the main page to follow the event seems to be missing.
