Is this 'alive' in your countries in terms of visibility? Dutch NOS sure has some articles about it on their website, but in terms of actually showing stuff, it seems like it'll stay with a few minutes in the daily sports news and probably a daily live stream on their website, which you can't watch on-demand (or even pause) and so you either watch it live, or you don't watch it at all.

 

Mostly feels like NOS is kind of ignoring it, which makes me curious about other countries. Curious in the sense that hopefully there will be good options to see especially stuff like athletics, swimming, track cycling (and of course road, but we've got Belgian TV for that no doubt) and possibly rowing.

In Denmark we're having Championships on the main channels that you would usually need Eurosport or expensive streaming services to watch

On broadcasting, it seems most of the EBU members are all showing it (live and FTA). It's good to see tbh

The Hungarian broadcaster is giving it the "Summer Olympic Games" treatment, nonstop live broadcast of the European Championships and the Aquatics European Championships on two channels. It's like if it was the Olympic Games, even sports that we aren't good at are live on air.

It is not so mini. 200m against the usual 250m.  There’s no fixed size - 180m to 330m all exist.

Did Munich have no other Olympic size track?

Permanent wooden 250m tracks are a rare beast. There are probably no more than 3 or 4 in Germany.

They’re very expensive to maintain.  Track cycling went out of fashion about 30 years ago & many old ones were lost. Recently it has become important again, but too late for the old tracks.
