Those european championships are a complete catastrophe. Hopefully we wont have any major competition in Belgrade in the future. At least 1 false start in every sprint event and no one ever gets disqualified, its an absolute pain to watch this. In addition to this EAA should either stop having indoor championships at all or they should find a way that all (or at least most of the) top athletes compete.

Womens 60 m: The 2 best german girls, the best british girl and Schippers didnt even compete

Womens 400 m: No Grenot, Zemlyak, Diamond, Ohuruogu*

Womens 800 m: No Jozwik, Sharp, Arzamasova, Lamotte

Womens 1500 m: No Hassan

Womens high jump: No Vlasic

Womens long jump: No Mihambo, Moguenara, Proctor

Womens triple jump: No Rypakova, Knyazyeva-Minenko

Womens pole vault: No Kyriakopoulou, Büchler*

Womens pentathlon: No Johnson-Thompson, Schäfer, Ikauniece, Vetter

Mens 60 m: No Vicaut, Lemaitre, Martina*, Ujah, Gemili

Mens 400 m: No brits, no Borlee brothers

Mens 800 m: No Bosse

Mens high jump: No ukrainian guys, no italian guys, no Onnen

Mens pole vault: No Lavillenie

What stupid comment... the problem isn't Belgrade but the big problem is that the post-olympic indoor season is awful.

For the men's high jump we compete whit Chesani (italian indoor championship) and Tamberi is injured and Fassinotti doesn't compete in this indoor season.

Yeah the difference is that you think that this comment is stupid because you are obviously not able to read, while all your comments are in fact stupid and sound like comments made by a 5 year old who didnt take his ADHD meds.

Cool.  I know  that I haven't insulted you, btw it's internet and everyone does what they want. In the meantime you did not give me any answer to my statement. It's a very constructive comment, really

why it `s  hard for me to get into INDOOR ECH in post-olympic season...hmmm....this is a C event but nice to see some Polish medals and some great overall results

 

Because of all major events, European indoor championships is the smallest and least important major event  

 

Indoor is always sort of the 'little brother' of outdoor athletics
