Two of the favourites, France and Germany, already eliminated at low measures. And surprisingly so.

4,65 FOR KYLYPKO 

[Gianlu33 6,029]

0 for Germany! What disaster...

Lol, our pole vaulters definitely exceeded any and all expectations  

 

We got 3 more points from this than in 2023, since Rugilė had an NM back then

Using the season's best of each athlete from the entry list I have calculated a projected points calculation for the 2nd Division.

 

Obviously this is full of caveats due to the fact some athletes are just starting their seasons, some season's best will have been vastly improved since the entry list was released earlier this week and some strong athletes have no seasons best yet and thus their points will not reflect their true potential. Also I did not include the 3 relay events either. Nevertheless I thought it would be nice to calculate it and share.

 

Rank	Nation	Pts
1	Belgium	407
2	Norway	384
3	Turkey	358
4	Slovenia	340
5	Ireland	333
6	Romania	307
7	Croatia	304
8	Austria	277
8	Slovakia	277
10	Denmark	267
11	Estonia	257
12	Israel	248
13	Serbia	239
14	Cyprus	230
15	Bulgaria	207
16	Latvia	189

 

 

Belgium should have enough to take the title and Norway should be comfortably in the promotion spots.

There might be a decent battle for the third promotion spot and with Slovenia at home they are likely to outperform expectations and could really challenge Turkey for promotion. On paper Ireland are in the mix too especially as the relays are not included in this projection and Ireland will be among the strongest teams in the relay events. But I think we'd need to be on our A-game to earn a shot at promotion and I think it might be just beyond them this time.

 

Tbh it's actually insane how Estonia is projected 11th and Latvia is in 16th, while Lithuania is in the first league, whilst year after year Estonia and Latvia are running laps around us and destroy us in every single age category Baltic championships

Phenomenal first day for  in pole vault, "silver medal" for Kylypko and 6th place for Onufriiev with PB and we are second today 

 

It makes our task not to relegate a bit easier, but we need to continue to score huge points in field events

[Bearas 628]

 is beating  after first day  although that deffo will change hehe

Someone on Athletics Weekly points out that yesterday was the 30th Anniversary of what might probably be one of the greatest unbroken records in the history of the sport, Jonathan Edward's wind assisted 18.43 in the European Cup at Lille.
