5.50 (2nd height) enough for medal in pole vault!

With a bit of luck Isinbayeva could have medalled here

Level in mens pole vault was shocking. Its sad to remember the good old times with Holzdeppe, Otto and Lavillenie who won the medals at 2012 european championships and 2012 olympics. Holzdeppe might win a medal in Rio if he is even remotely fit.

Level in mens 200m was also shocking. Where are Hughes and Gemili and what happened with the british guy who was running sub 20s earlier this year?

Another medal for a naturalized turkish athlete. I really wonder why some athlete from Azerbaijan decides to compete for Turkey?

Martina on fire, whit the Netherlands antilles flag

Cuba won 2 golds today, Grenot and Copello. We should call this "open european championships".

I am glad that Ohurougo and Williams didnt win a medal, we dont need more medals for athlete who were caught doping.
