And Bulgaria medley relay providing the comedy for the day with a changeover out of the zone, the outgoing runner then decides to cut from lane 8 into lane 7 to run the bend 🤣

Watching yesterday afternoon/evening's session now, but how on earth was only Konso sent away from the 110m hurdles semis, when both he and Wright false started (and Wright was even a bit earlier)?

@hckošice Any idea about Dutch roots for Kiara Sluijpers? Her surname sounds rather Dutch  

 

Edit: could have Googled first  

 

She's apparently indeed originally Dutch, but I assume recently switched to Slovakia. Articles in local Dutch media from as recent as last year are talking about her competing in Dutch junior championships and such.

Kiara Sluijpers lives in the Netherlands, as her father and coach in one person is from there, while her mother is Slovak.

She will certainly have bright career prospects when the  Parliament requires / translators.

3 more gold medals  included the most unexpected one in the boys' Javelin Throw, maybe the discipline which we have the worst tradition in 

[Swewi 407]

Swedish TV has broadcasted everything from this Championship so far, until this morning when we finally win 2 gold

GBR middle distance running in a golden period right now, they go 1-2 in the Women's 1500m.
