How i missed to see eastern european athletes peak out of nowhere ...

Who are Zhuk and Ryzakhova?

Ryzhykova is her married name. She won a medal at EC six years ago already so she hasn't come out of nowhere

Zhuk is still only 21yo. He barely missed a medal at the U23 EC in Bydgoszcz last year.

Epic failure for Linkiewicz...

Looks like the guy from Lithuania makes it through as FL.

Jagaciak Michalska out in the TJ quals

Baumgart took it very easy there.

The Belgian runner who finished 2nd is Kevin Borlee's girlfriend

It's a ridiculous argument that whithout "African & Carribean talent" our sports will vanish out of thin air. Ressources will still be there to be spent on coaches, infrastructures, athletes ... Medals would still be won.

 

 

I never said UK & France would vanish into thin air but it's obvious they profit from influx from colonial talent. Yeah, I know the rich only get richer. I can only second guess where would Poland be if we had the resources similar to France & UK.

This is Anita Wlodarczyk's club stadium. I wonder if any of the French champions would even set a foot onto this junkyard?

Colonial empires and their problems... sigh... Where would France and UK be without the African & Carribean talent?

Right! I guess everyone knows we mean business when it comes to winning the medal table

Well, BBC will hype Asher-Smith for years now. Bye Ennis & Farah, welcome Dina!

Honestly, if Bukowiecki medals in these championships, this will be the biggest slap in the face for me, because I had him as my medalist both in Olympics Games and in the World Championship and I decided to not believe in him for the third time

This is his outdoor PB here. Previous was 21,59   It's safe to say not many people in Poland expected him to win a medal.

Feel sorry for the Spaniard. Run out of it by a bunch of Africans in the end.

Haratyk 21,72!

It's on the start list  

 

I'm skipping that. 10k is my least favorite event in track & field. Thank God Mo Farah finally retired so ES doesn't give a damn about it anymore.

And Ringer too, Europe's fastest 10k runner so far this year  

 

I'm unaware of the 10k leaders... I have more interest in race-walking

Bukowiecki is such a headcase... sigh...

Let's watch some random German retiring....

Haratyk 20,94 in the first attempt. He said 21,50 will be required for medals.

Decathlon forecast graphic!!! 

It's been there since the 1st event

Nowicki 80,12m.

Three UKR women in Top 5. That wraps up the team event if they had one

That POR flag is like twice as big as Henriques

Someone crashed into the last barrier...

Eykens got boxed...

Mayer out!!!

But I didn't pick him for gold medal...
