An impressive eight national records set in Paris.

 

Men's & Women's - 400 m

Men's & Women's - 1500 m

Women's - 3000 m steeplechase

Men's, Women's & Mixed - 4×400 m relays 

 

Also the only country to medal in all five relays thanks to the US's  ongoing problems in the men's 4×100 m relay!

 

On the downside our field event performances continue to decline with the solitary exception of Jacob Fincham-Dukes who excelled himself with a fifth place finish in the LJ.

As always, plenty of medals for :GBR in Turkey this morning.  We did not manage a medal for every single runner, which we have done a couple of times before, but certainly either a team or individual medal in every single race.

I know not technically GB related but it's always nice to have a laugh before they get it horribly wrong.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
