 and improving the most;   and  underperforming the most

How does the simulation work, was Morauskaitė assumed to be 16th, since she didn't have a SB, ooooor?

Yeah, the BBC always used to do that.

Back in the good old days when the BBC actually cared about sports other than football.

If no SB then I used European Athletics seedings, so Morauskaitė was at 8th and obviously improved. Also improvements in both shot put and hammer.

It's good that all of our worst disciplines are over first

Same, tbh, most of our weakest disciplines are scattered across today. 

 

Apart from women's discus throw later this evening, we will definitely be bleeding points in every other event.

 

Unless Valinčius runs a miracle 3000 SC and Bertašius runs a good 800m (he's a 1500m runner though)

[Bearas 581]

Women's 5000m about to start... is there anyone to beat the legendary performance of  of this morning?  

[Werloc 3,191]

Griška successfully avoided zero points in the triple jump with a valid jump.

 

Now I'd really like to see a decent 15m+

[hckošice 15,519]

Another pretty much expected 8 points via Šimon Bujna in M 400m. We simply are forbidden to overperform by nature

That's our strategy as well, friend  

 

I'll be surprised to see a PB anywhere.

He's literally the worst one on paper... The fact he's not last is already an achievement for him
