New medal for Turkish import.

 

Meanwhile, Martina celebrates with flag

But combined with a Dutch flag  

 

Another fantastic win  although this time he was the favourite, so it's less surprising than yesterday

I am glad that Lavillenie paid for his arrogance, but he is still the favorite for Rio. German pole vaulters have been embarrassing, but at least Dilla beat Lavillenie ...

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

Its not the same as with Copello but i am in general against nationality changes, they should be forbidden in general. Did Grenot ever compete for Cuba? If not, then everything is ok.

man, even at slovak national championship there were more athletes

I am very disappointed by Mihambo, only 6.65m, she has much more potential, maybe she needs to change her coach.

Not to mention the two Turks and I see there are two Israeli's as well who don't seem to be born there, but I don't know if they are "bought" like Turkish or more like refugees
