Lots of athletes have stated they are going, and there are plenty of articles on the European athletics website. Off the top of my head I remember articles about Hughes and Hodgkinson.

I think KJT even suggested she was going. Dina, too.

Also it is ridiculous how the Balkan Championships have become, Cyprus is not Balkan but I can sort of see the connections due to the Greekness of Cyprus. However, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Malta, Austria, Ukraine??? Definitely not Balkan countries.

Huge result in decathlon at the Balkan Championships, 24 yo Angelos Andreoglou :GRE improves his PB from 7676 at last year's Balkan Championships to 7926 to win gold :thumbup:

 

This is now second all-time in Greece (NR is 8069 from a million years ago). Andreoglou now passed Alexandros Spyridonidis who had 7917 in 2022 as a 24 yo, and seemed to be the one who was going to take the NR, but has had injury problems since then.

 

Andreoglou had PBs today in the shot put, discus, and 1500. Suddenly it seems like he can make the European Championships (as I'm sure there will also be a lot of withdrawals due to it being an Olympic year), and with a good score/result there (which is possible considering his form and the higher level of competition), maybe he can even make it to the Olympics...

Until the team is announced I wouldn't treat any of those articles as being anything more than an expression of interest. Athletes had to let UKA know by 3rd May if they were interested. The selection meeting is set for tomorrow.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see any the names mentioned there but neither would I be shocked if some of them had last minute changes of heart.

    • I still shocks, that a country of 4-5 million inhabitants? can be a powerhouse in almost every winter sport + handball, football (most recently with Haaland) and athletics: Ingebrigtsen, Warholm, etc. With such a small population, they can't be missing out on any major talent, surely? This must be the best training system in the world...
    • FIFA announced the stadium and time for each match   for  Iran, it will be 2 matches in LA (and not just 1) and 1 in Seattle and luckily we avoided playing in Canada. absolutely nothing against the country, but there are just too many douchebag Iranian groups in Vancouver trying to mix everything with their stupid politics. it's better to stay away from them.   that can happen in US too but less likely. playing in LA is more like playing at home, at least I hope so. 2022 Qatar was a disaster from our point of view, hopefully this one remains only about football.
