Please nobody say Eurovisionsports. We've just had the Olympics with HBO, I can't go back to Eurovisionsports and it's medieval website  

Or it's continously crashing app

Anastazja Kuś has been withdrawn from the Polish squad. Doing European U-18 and Olympics in space of four weeks was arguably enough according to the coaches.

Wonder if there’s a bit of a rethink. Polish athletes famous for doing everything every year, maybe need to be a bit more selective.

Will be interesting to see how many of the medalists will go on to medal at the 2028 Olympics. The following athletes from the 2021 edition of the junior world championships medaled in Paris:

 Tebogo

 Wanyonyi

 Alekna

 Cherotich

A bit surprising that only one female athlete, but three male athletes showed such a rapid improvement within the last three years. Normally you would expect female athletes to become world class at an earlier age.

For some women of that age, they were already competing in the Olympics so missed it. Keeley Hodgkinson is an obvious one. 
 

There were also several large nations who didn’t send their best young athletes to that edition in Nairobi (for various reasons)

 

I tend to agree that young women seem to be able to compete at a younger age than young men.

Here's your official "How to watch in your country" aka "What's the best VPN system?" page for this.

Here in  it is the BBC IPlayer - which schedules the evening sessions only.  We'll just have to wait and see whether the morning sessions are also geo-blocked on Eurovision and the World Athletics feed.
