Woooooow, Rugilė Miklyčiūtė just won a medal in the pole vault with a new NR!!!

 

We were always useless in this discipline. Rugilė was the first ever U18 Lithuanian pole vault participant and she's the first U20 as well. 

 

Really unexpected, but extremely happy we're not coming back with empty hands.

Crazy performance, pretty much all your medals are golds. Like Germany you need to work on your conversion rate though, not many keep progressing at senior level. Norway without a single medal after having a great performance at the U23 european championships just recently.

What a fail by the german runner in women's 4 x 400 m ...

Crazy that Germany won the medal table with such a huge margin although tons of their medal contenders failed/didn't even compete (Kadiri, Becker, Hinrichs, Attermeyer, Göring, Sistermann, Kallabis, Lahrs, Lukas, Martin, Schmitt, Müller, women's 4 x 400 m). Easily could have been 30 medals for Germany.

I told my friend that the ranking between 3rd and 20th is literally a couple of centimetres, so a medal is possible in case Rugilė gets a PB here, since I believed that 4.20 would guarantee a medal and she had 4.10 from last year.

 

I didn't really believe that she would do it, after bombing out at the Team Championships and suffering a mini disaster last year in U18, but the chance was there, since it's a very close race and anybody had a chance if they overperformed.
