Did Ingebritsen step off?

No clear evidence and it doesn't matter.

Solo pacemaking run from Ingebrigtsen. Very impressive. Lewandowski no chance.

Wow, Pulli NR & bronze with 8.11, for a legendary historic athletics nation with not many contemporary greats.

8.24 even   Probably best Finland showing in the horizontal jumps since Heli Koivula.

Men's 1500m next. Let's see if Lewandowski has anything for Ingebrigtsen.

"Only" silver medal for Haratyk, Stanek wins gold.

Stanek 21,62 and takes a big lead in shot put.

Belo despite NR pushed to 4th now.

With the exception of Bol, the three 400 meter men and Schilder (shot put, Olympic standard), the Dutch athletes are very disappointing in Torun. All 6 800 meter runners ran tactically dramatically today and were eliminated. Yesterday in the 1500 meters as well. Broersen jumped three times invalid in the long jump and Vastenburg was disqualified in the 3000 meters.

Well-timed jinx. Just before Koster fell in the 3000 final.

Markovic wins gold, French woman steals silver at the line from another Brit.

Xenia Krizsan wins 800m Pentathlon and that should give her bronze medal overall.

1-2 for Belgium.

Not to mention the COVID tests cost a fortune as well. This whole additional testing thing is done purely for money rather than safety.

That makes no sense at all? USA wants to put even more weight on Diggins?

Women's shot put: Two-time African Games & two-time African Champion from becomes European Champion for

Femke Bol 51, 18 and that looked like a training run.

Justyna Swiety 51.34 NR

Klaver with some good pacemaking

A lot of bumping in SF2 and Janezic just makes the final by 0,01.

All Dutch with outside lanes in the final.

I suppose the revival of 5km distances has helped RL Roponen a lot. She's older than Raisa Smetanina when CIS relay won Olympic gold in 1992

Gold and silver decided, Diggins vs Parmakoski for bronze.

I don't think Nepryaeva can make up 20 seconds on Fossesholm.

Good races yesterday.  Quick question, is Passler the daughter of Johann Passler the Italian biathlete from the 1980s?  I would assume so, but just wanted to confirm.  

 

She's his niece

Kalla is absolutely toast. Probably no medal for Sweden. Andersson & Karlsson will have a mammoth task to claw this back.

50 seconds in and Lithuania is 25 meters behind already. Langsam aber sicher as the Germans would say

Finally a better jump from Kupczak. It's gonna be a challenge for him to stay in Top 20 though.

I hope FIS won't wait 4 years to put Jasna on the calendar again? I mean Nove Mesto is usually a sell-out in biathlon so I have no idea what stops FIS from milking Vlhova's career peak?

Maybe that infected athlete was Kopron itself 

 

Do you know reason why Hołub will not race in individual? Focusing on relay isn't enough good argument and yet Lesiewicz had a standard that could start on 400m individual...

Apparently no injury, just all-in on the 4x400 relay. However it would make sense to at least put Lesiewicz in the individual. Due to her lack of experience I think she won't make the relay despite finishing 2nd at the Polish indoors.
