Awkward no interview with the world champion. Obviously doesn't speak English

wins gold & bronze in W 200m freestyle.

No-brainer. This multi-sport European Championships made no sense from the start and who knows how long that idea keeps going. Athletics is big enough it doesn't need to share the table with other sports.

People usually don't like to work longer. Raising taxes & forcing people to work longer always works against politicians and loses them support. The same way Civic Platform lost power in 2015. Donald Tusk also raised the retirement age and next thing you know CP lost elections and they are losing them in the last 7 years. It's gotten so bad Tusk now says he won't raise the retirement age again if his party is back in power (Law & Justice government lowered the retirement age to the previous mark of 65 for men & 60 for women).

Italy is having a good champs for sure, some 17yo won 100m breaststoke? Also I thought Meilutyte has retired? Good to see her win a medal 10 years after the London shock.

Macron loses majority in French Parliament. Funny how raising the retirement age level or even suggesting that usually loses you votes? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61859881

Two retirements in the women's final for Zhang & Bencic which means Haddad Maia wins Birmingham and Jabeur wins Berlin.

Hubert Hurkacz wins the Halle tournament 61 64 over Daniil Medvedev Nothing like a Polish victory over a Russian on a German soil

Another grass final for Haddad Maia who beat Simona Halep in three sets. She will be a favorite vs the Chinese veteran Zhang Shuai who also needed three sets to beat Sorana Cirstea. The Wimbledon odds for Haddad Maia will be very interesting

Kaczmarek 50,24 & Kielbasinska 50,28 PB behind Miller-Uibo. I feel like there's a real chance a second woman will break 50 secs. later this season especially with Miller-Uibo being the rabbit.

Hubert Hurkacz beat Nick Kyrgios 46 76 76 and advances into Halle final vs Medvedev.

Leon Marchand wins 200 Medley.

Maria Ugolkova - sounds like a Russian whose wealthy parents obtained Swiss citizenship?

Clearly a move aimed for a predicted German gold medal. Like Irena Szewinska was always handing out medals in hammer or race walking back in the day

That's two silvers at the very least

Yeah, so extreme kayak is basically a speedway-like 4 boat race like I thought. Meh.

Thomas Bach (fencing, gold 1976) sighting!

Pudar into 100m Butterfly final. That's one flag in swimming I didn't expect to see in a global swimming final. Osman made the final by 0,02.

Isn't the course already cross-like? Or do you mean a vertical difference like in alpine skiing?

What is extreme kayak? Several kayaks doing the course at the same time?

Bronze medal for Costa! Win goes to Winnington

Nothing going for the new line-up of the women's quadruple sculls so far. Two double Olympic medallists Kobus-Zawojska & Sajdak (both over 30yo) have been replaced by younger girls and they finished last twice and 5th in a repechage

beats 3:2 after Poland blew 10-6 lead in tie-break Britt Herbots has evolved into a real team leader for Belgium.

I miss swimming on ES. These commentators were much better over the years compared to the TVP group. Since Discovery took over ES I have a feeling any US-popular sports have been taken off that channel for whatever reason (I kinda suspect why but oh, well).

Le Clos is kinda past the sale usage for some time? No morning heats on Polish TV until Monday (I presume it's online). Volleyball is more important
