I think it's intentionally crippled for some obscure copyright reason.  It also cannot be cast - only a direct HDMI feed from PC to TV works - which I've only ever seen before with Sky TV function. 

Strangely, the app can be cast to a Chromecast for example, but the stream in the app stops for a fraction of a second every 1-2 seconds  It does have a button to go forwards or backwards 10 seconds though, a very basic functionality for almost any kind of video player, but hey...it's there.

Maybe the logic is

 

Live FTA on an intentionally crippled service - fulfils a sponsor’s agreement.

Replays later chopped into individual events on YT - maximises ad revenue.

Now, quick let her move to USA or such to train and learn there, because it seems an unexpected golden nugget fell to us from sky

horrific mistake but wow the kid is fast. 16y old has run a 20.5?!! I'll forgive him this once in a lifetime fail and look forward to his future

So, Apparently this was the very first ever Gold for at the U18 European Championships.

 

12.86 new EU18 Record and 2nd best worldwide time behind Hill 12.71 from 2022 in the heats and today 12.93 in the final the all time fastest Slovak times in WU18 100 Hurdles history

3 medals for us on Day 2!

 

Gold and bronze in the women's shot put which was a bit disappointing believe it or not, our girls were 1-2 before the last round and all week I was hoping we would go 1-2 in the final, but I guess I should not be greedy 

 

Also silver in the women's triple jump 

 

Big disappointment so far in the men's hammer with Tzamtzis having three fouls in qualifying. He is second in the world for U18s and I was hoping for a gold here. However we had Gentekos finish 1st in qualifying so maybe he can win a surprise medal instead?

good day at the office for  

 

only slightly underachieving performance, the bronze medal by Inzoli in the boys' Long Jump (he has a PB way better than the gold medal winning effort )

 

but he's only 15 (turning 16 next month), he'll have more chances...
