I was having in mind a reply from "Eurotrip"  - "OMG this is Bratislava; we're in Eastern Europe"

And about the event itself, it has from my point of view been very good. Having the qualifications at the Museumspleijn worked very well and should be considered for the future (I know that the idea of having and event outside the stadium isn't completely new, but I believe it was the first time in a major championship).

It was easy getting into the stadium and we quickly got into the area. The food was decent and the medal plaza was great. The only two negatives for me were the very small a amount of merchandise and the terrible seats in the stadium (man, they were unconfortable). Possibly, the speakers could have been a bit less dutch. I don't mind that they speak some dutch, but I did sometimes feel that I missed something because I didn't understand what was said, This focus on the host country also meant extra focus on some events, which I personally feel sad about (I think all events should be equal when it comes to the "official" point of view.

It was a pleasure and I hope I will be back at some athletics championships in the near future.

What a race by the Dutch 4x100m girls  

 

New NR and even a time with which they would clearly seriously challenge for an Olympic medal 

 

Dafne now only needs to improve her hurdles in order to repeat Fanny Blankers-Koen.

13.13 without any specialistic hurdles training...I think it should be possible
