Good news - :thumbup: 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 :GRE meets in the next day or two.

 

European Athletics to offer extensive World Athletics Continental Tour streaming in 2024 | European Athletics (european-athletics.com)

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

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.
    • Someone made this Statue Trump---Epstein     mysterious bronze statue called “Best Friends Forever” has popped up on the east end of the National Mall in Washington, DC,    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-epstein-statue-dc-national-mall.html    
    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
    • another wave of mega rain is coming in north Africa 
    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
