Yeah, these kind of close races are normally reserved for 5000 metres: 2016 European Athletics Championships – Men's 5000 metres - Wikipedia

The athletics have been great.... finally feels like those European championships that used to be held every 4 years. When they moved to every 2 years they lost some importance, at least in my eyes, but this somehow recaptured that feeling of an important championships. I watched only rowing, gymnastics and athletics and a bit of cycling but it was enjoyable. Going to miss tuning into athletics every evening (been spoiled with Worlds, Commonwealths and Europeans on our screens here for the past few weeks).

Polish 4x100 quartet playing tribute to the national sport of baseball.

Pia Skrzyszowska had done it!!!!!!!!!!

BRONZE!!! Yesss Mark!!!

Surprisingly wonderful ECh for us. 2 silver and 1 bronze medals and a completely unexpected 4th. Now let's hope for some similar surprises next year in Budapest.

Worse result for a women's European high jump title since 1974. YIKES!

5th place for Lavin, another great result for our athletes. We've had so many solid results at these championships, mixed in with a lot of positive and exciting results from our younger athletes. Very pleased with our European Championships campaign and lots of hope to take forward into the remainder of this Olympic cycle

Gold Medal for Pia Skgzhgzghovska

Very interesting squad of Polish 4x100 W relay Pia Skrzyszowska (starting 40 mins after 100h final) Anna Kiełbasińska (400m runner lately, medalist in 4x400 here but earlier a good 200m runner) Marika Popowicz- Drapała Ewa Swoboda (4th here in 100) that will be interesting

PB for Sarah Lavin and into the women's 100m Hurdles final

Bartolini needs to substantially increase his difficulty score. Execution is important, but one cannot rely on execution alone, or else the risk of walking away without a medal is too big. That being said, I am a little worried about the fact that the judges are trying hard to make Jake Jarman happen at all costs. He's got big skills and high difficulty, but his execution is definitely not great and he's never penalized enough for his mistakes. This has been happening at every single event. It's baffling.

So no gold medals for us, for the first time since 1982 (if Wikipedia is right), everything is going really well just 2 years before Paris 2024, yep

I agree...I'm also not a fan of the Continental champs held a few weeks before (or, even worse, after) the Olympics...

so, see you in 2 years in Rome (June 7th-12th, 2024)...

Marika Popowicz is so old she was in the previous NR relay 12 years ago

And both of our relays improved national records

So it is finally over. A strange championships, Will definitely be remembered for that Marathon GER win in the last 5 meters or that Asier Martinez win in the 110H over Martinot-Lagarde by 0.001, the 6th consecutive title of Perkovic and Femke Bol show

Sensational medal for us!! We had 3 relays in finals and all of them ended with medals!

Ekhm

nailed it!!!! Silver medal Skrzyszowska & Kielbasinska with a GOAT change! 42.61 NR!!!

Alright, let's see if Polish women can actually finish the relay.. dropped baton alert...

So with these championships coming to an end, I am suddenly so excited for the Olympic Games.... just the 2 years to wait

wins bronze in men's 4x100!!! Shock!!! 38.15 NR!! botched the first changeover. with another 4th place. Taking the honors today.

No worries, you guys are saving them for Paris

Medal for Serbia-Montenegro

@dcrowanted some knocked hurdles for women and he jinxed Cindy Sember

Mark English actually went to the same secondary school as me but he was a bit younger than me

False start in men's 10,000 final

There was an interview with Grażyna Rabsztyn lately and she said there was an idea to raise the women's hurdles in the 80s already but it proved unpopular and was quickly abandoned. She said she wanted the higher hurdles for women and the ideal height would be 91 cm (they are 84 cm now). She also run some races at the men's hurdles (106 cm). She also said at 1.75 m she was too tall for the event herself (which didn't stop her from setting WR though which is still Polish NR).

Gold for in gymnastics!!!

Gold medals in K1 500, K2 500 and K4 500 for Poland!

In Albania, they are pretty sure Gega will win a medal in Paris: Source: https://sport.rtsh.al/artikull/luiza-gega-kampione-europe Translation (Google Translate): "So a phenomenon that honors Albanian athletics, while "Paris 2024" will have one more certainty for an Olympic medal in the 3000 meters steeplechase."

Fun fact: We have won gold in the women's javelin three times. Anna Verouli won gold in 1982, then Manjani in 2002 and Tzengko in 2022 I have a feeling we won't have to wait 20 years for another women's javelin gold considering Tzengko's age and ability

If you want to feel a bit old, think that when Greece last won gold in women's javelin at a european championships, it was in 2002 in the same stadium and Jengo was one month unborn back then. And if you want to feel a bit older, think that when Spotakova made her olympic debut in 2004, Vilagos was seven months old. Tzengo was impressive, she started with a relatively good first throw which took all the pressure off and helped her throw a personal best in her next throw. This was a great day for us with two gold medals. I know our other two golds in these championships on the same day as well, as @Makedonas said, but I think those were way more expected than the one our athletes won today. Vilagos was impressive too. Remember she had two foul throws in qualifying before having a third one just good enough to put her in the final. Today she didn't start well, but gradually climbed up to third place and then despite Spotakova bumped her out of the podium spots and Vilagos had to throw immediately afterwards, she managed to improve and won silver. As for Spotakova, just appreciation and respect for her effort and medal at 41 years old, a true legend in this sport not just in javelin. To conclude all three medalists today have a from me.

Very true, although last year she was injured after US Open and did not play for a few months so she won't be defending points this year after the US Open at least.

Very important title for her, because she will soon have to defend second round (main draw) points from US open and most likely she won't play at all. At the moment she is fourth or fifth alternative in qualifying and there are less than 48 hours until the start of the tournament.

Il.fallait.lire Diamond League et pas Golden League. Je suis un vieux con qui a oublié d évoluer avec son temps 😁

wait a bit...Spain were definitely damaged by the French girls in the first changeover...they could be allowed a re-run...

Or a dropped baton

It might be squad for medal

Personally, I don´t mind Sports Climbing. Skateboarding is a bit so-so and Golf needn't be included, because they don't really take it all that seriously. However, I can understand why they cut the canoe sprint programme somewhat. Comparing to swimming, everything feels unfair, however. I can imagine why some of these changes are happening, but they are always forgetting part of what is important in actually making these changes.

Some shifts in medals from what was originally announced on live stream: promoted to silver alongside in Men's C2-200 stripped of Gold and relegated to silver, while moving from bronze into gold position in Men's K1-200

Women's European championships road race was today, Elisa Balsamo got surprisingly close to Lorena Wiebes Don't think anyone has been within 3 bike lengths of Wiebes in a sprint this year, so that's quite a performance, but it wasn't enough to beat her

Unbelievable last 100m from Kopasz and Nádas. Kopasz really is on top of his game this year.

Tsitsipas just beat Medvedev in the semifinals of Cincinnati! This is his second win over a world number 1, as he also beat Djokovic in Shanghai 2019.

Valentini Grammatikopoulou into the Vancouver final!
