Bearas

Bezede crying in the shot put despite leading after 3 attempts..

Marton is struggling to even reach 17m, despite throwing above 18m this year

Latvian hammer thrower with 23m and new SB! lol, they sent heptathlete just to collect points..

Yikes, although still beating Serbia.... Marjova's SB was third worst after Romania and Slovenia, but both of those are beating Slovakian atm.

Interesting fact: in the panning shot of the stadium, you can see more people outside of the stadium on the benches or strolling around than inside.... 0 spectators again

Yep, it started. I got scared as if you look at the programme on https://europeangames.tv it only mentions stream starting with Women's 400m

Seems there's no broadcast of women's shot put and women's hammer throw?

Thats bizarre, maybe they didn't want to overhype it and just under promised just in case... but even then, the only evets were Hungarian's SB is not amongst top5 is Men's5000m, men's pole vault, men's shot put, women's high jump and women's triple jump... We shall see how close Hungarians are to their season performances shortly, but I think you guys have the favourites at the moment.

Also - simulated rankings of day 1: 149 128 116 108 107 101 99 96 95 82 80 79 68 68 65 53 This will look completely different when comparing to all included events, will get some false hope to qualify, while and might get upset with rankings after first day.

Right people, let's make it interesting. I've went trhough everyone's SB/PB in Division II and that is how the simulated score looks like for Div2 (please note relkays are not included as neraly impossible to get the accurate prediciton rankings): 427 407 377 344 313 302 296 290 278 277 272 268 242 217 181 128 So we are looking into and easily qualifying to Div 1, with and fighting for last qualifying spot. looks very safe to remain in Div2 and highly likely to get relegated (especially when not competing in all events), with and fighting for survival!

I mean, I know we all making fun of the level, but it's good to see and improving on many of their national records

You mean 11.57 and 11.65.... With 10.65 would beat all of the Jamaican sprinters

Well guess what, women's hammer throw starting - some of the same athletes who done discus/shot put starting here this is turning into some weird heptathlon at this rate...

More notably PEJOVIĆ is 7 laps behind Guiducci P.S. - that's according to live results, might not be a true reflection

Bottom 5 at women's discus.... 29.71 26.39 26.31 23.84 14.94

Some horrid results in women's discus with 13m, 26m and etc...

Not with the distances that they are scoring...

They put women's SP and women's DT at the same time, so some athletes competing in two events at once

with really nice NR in women's 400m

Aww, there's a second run in 400m, it should imrpove lol

Interesting fact - the winning time of women's 400m in Third Division would only get bronze in Lithuanian Youth Championships that finished few day ago.... And I think we all know that Lithuania is not a famous sprint country, sooo....

Not even a single spectator in the athletics stadium..

Scrap that, the page is missing around 30% of all entries....

All of Team GB: https://results.european-games.org/EG2023/ENG/athletes/all-disc/GBR

Honestly these are the first European games that is getting some attention from Lithuanian media. I think this has also to do with the fact that Poland is hosting. This time Lithuanian Olympic Committee also funded participation of non-Olympic sports too. Too bad that half of Lithuanian team will be juniors or youth, although it's good for experience I guess. Main events for Lithuanian fans to watch: women's modern pentathlon, women's breakdancing, women's boxing, men's canoe sprint and 3x3 basketball as there's not much hope outside of these events
