Good news - absolutely dozens of good European meets going to be streamed FTA on the European Athletics YT Channel in the run-up to the Olympics. Here's the full list, starting off with some meets in the next day or two.

2009-born Ariadni Mirtsiou :GRE got 4th in the women's pole vault as she cleared 4.20 m.

So we now have the top 2 in the U18 women's pole vault this year, both are 15 year olds, as Anastasia Boumpoulidi cleared 4.25 a few weeks ago.

The real interesting race though is going to be who gets the third spot for Greece in Paris in the women's pole vault. Either 38 yo Kyriakopoulou makes her 5th Olympics or 23 yo Adamopoulou makes her debut :mumble: . Here Kyriakopoulou got 2nd with 4.40 (first result of the year for her, she skipped indoors) and Adamopoulou was third with 4.20 (she has 4.50 from a few weeks ago and is probably the front runner as she got the standard for Rome and was the third Greek to do so, so Kyriakopoulou won't be able to make it via ranking now).

The level of Men's discus this season is so high. Daniel Ståhl Throwed 68.99 in season opening last night and it is only enough to be ranked 8 in the world this early in the season
