Tentoglou 8.52 CR in long jump...

Ingebrigtsen wins 5000 ahead of Katir and Crippa.

Almgren in 4th place.

Kambundji & Swoboda advance from SF3. No chance Swoboda finishes higher than 6th in the final.

Massive false start for Leconte in SF2 and she gets DQ.

Neita wins SF1 with 10.95.

Tiranic DQ in women's SF1. Well, so much for consistent rules.

Jacobs wins SF3. Volko makes the final as LL.

Volko pushes Vicaut out of the LL pool... @hckošice

Second false start for Harvey again. And this time he gets DQ.

Harvey only a yellow card after a false start.

Well, no Wlodarczyk and suddenly all eyes are on Kopron... and she fails. I see she used the most popular Polish expletive after that last throw in the netting

Short attention span rules. People ain't bothered to write Czech Republic these days? I sure find this Czechia thing look artificial. I have no idea where that came from.

Can has checked out... gold for Kenya... ahem... Turkey...

Gold for Filip Mihaljevic in men's shot put   21.88 in the last attempt just to confirm it.

Two medals for Croatia on day one

Poland not getting a medal in the men's shot put must be a big surprise 

Nope. Haratyk & Bukowiecki are really off form in the last two seasons. 21 meters is suddenly a huge challenge for them.

Sebastian Chmara is utterly blind & stupid. Dongmo's last attempt was 19.52 and he thought it was 20.52 and got excited for no reason. What a complete idiot. The last line in women's event was 19m, the men have it at 21m.

Ehammer wins the 400m heat

Ponzio 20.96 so the first attempt controversy doesn't matter anymore.

Wiesiolek blew a tyre in the last 20 meters but still finished 2nd

Well, Konrad Bukowiecki was bitching that his shot was deemed ineligible and he didn't want to use the one provided by the organizers so he's using Haratyk's shot instead. Just anything to justify he's out of form (or hanging around Kaczmarek too much ).

Another stupid question, How is possible that a winner of a heat will have to run in Lane 1 in the semifinal ? That sound stupid, Are not the winners of previous rounds always placed in the middle lanes by default ?

 

I assume the middle lanes are for those pre-qualified on SB/rankings

has four women in 400m (we got one wild card even) and only Baumgart had to run the heats.

 Janet Richard in tears after her 400 m heat.

 

Apparently she has broken the Maltese NR by over half a second.

Yeah, her previous best was 54.06 so she beat that by 0.57

@hckošicePolish immigrants have taken over Illinois & Wisconsin so we left you Pennsylvania as consolation

tbh, I'm surprised that our guys went that far...

the only true champion we have is Ludovico Fossali (2019 world champion), who's not in Munich...

 

the girls are still too young, all of them are basically still juniors (and Colli is the only one with a few world cup races experience)...

 

hopefully they're going to improve in a couple of years...

Yeah, but you seem to be having many athletes which is smart since this is still a low-hanging event where you can get great results at relative small cost.

Gold for Boldyrev in the men's event. Dzienski still very good silver.
