If it is only 2 countries going down then it is clear, otherwise will be huge fight between rank 5-10.

 

on the top Hungary safe. Slovakia probably as well, which is for me the biggest surprise. Probably it will be between Slovenia and Lithuania

 

 

I think it might be between Slovakia and Lithuania actually, as Slovenia might probably overtake both, since they have a promising day 2 with some good athletes.

We are soooooo staying in the 2nd league this year. Seeing as our second day is always worse than the first, our relay got DQ'd and Palšytė won't be jumping for us tomorrow.

 

Yeah... Looking at some of Lithuanian entries for the second day... Last place is almost guaranteed in women's hammer throw for example.

Here a link to the Austrian federation. They say they are currently 10th which means 3rd league next year

It will be interesting. We have few athletes for top 3 (Terzic, Ristic, Jevtic), Barjaktarovic for top 5 and maybe Gardasevic in long jump. Others are just bad.

It is going to be tough second day for Croatia, we have two last places as 110m hurdles, m 3000m steeple safe  and few more with places at the bottom as w high jump, w shot put, m javelin, w 1500m. 

[Bearas 521]

So we don't have a proper start list for quite a few events, but this is prediction of SB/PB combination how standings should look like after most events are finished, except M 110m Hurdles, M Javelin and Relays.

 

•  322
•  270,5
•  265
•  255
•  239
•  231
•  223
•  226
•  223
•  211
•  173
•  166

Iceland and Moldova is relegated for sure. Hungary secured promotion while Slovakia will be 2nd for almost sure. The only battle that should continue is Lithuania vs Slovenia for the last qualification spot.

Lithuania should beat Slovenia in: Men's Triple Jump, Women's Shot Put, Men's Discus Throw, Men's 3000m Steeplechase, Women's 200m, Women's 1500m, Men's 3000m

Slovenia should beat Lithuania in: Women's Hammer Throw, Men's Pole Vault, Women's 100m Hurdles, Men's 800m, Women's High Jump (how lucky they are that Palšytė is injured...), Men's 200m, Women's long jump, Women's 5000m.

 

There are several game changing events where both countries can surprise each other as athletes are quite close in comparison: Women's 100m Hurdles, Men's 800m, Women's 200m, Women's Long Jump, Men's 3000m. The qualification will depend on these events in particular.Also need to keep in mind that our Men's Relay team are likely to finish last

Everyone here is still so assured about our promotion lol, but guys, the our yesterdays results should be considered as miracles and it´s just highly unlikely we will repeat such performances today. We still can perfectly finish last,

 

I really don´t understand where you took this certitude. I see only 1 quite probable good result (to not say win) today by Volko in 200m, I have strong doubts that anyone else will finish in the top half of their races

I think Slovakia is also a quite probable winner in women's long jump and women's 4x400m relay.

Claudia Salman-Rath (LJ) is another victim of unprofessional judging in Lille. Her foot wasn't even close to the foul line  and yet they gave her "X".

In first league, the wind is causing havoc particularly in the women's long jump.... the Swedish girl registered a no jump in the second round with a -9.3 m/s () headwind while the Estonian girl had a +3.2 m/s wind at her back .
