finishing 0,02 sec behind and 0,05 sec behind

Aah, I forgot about . They can still finish higher than

What can go wrong now? I think they're safe now.

I hadn't seen that just moved up in 9th place in men's javelin.

I think might miss out on 0,5 point.

These might be the most important 0,03 seconds for in this competition.

can still pull this off with some solid relays.

Dutch pole vaulter probably no score. This day is getting worse and worse. After being one of the favorites prior to the tournament, we now have to settle for 4th. EDIT: and just when I hit 'Post' he actually made it in his third attempt.

And a DNS on the women's 200m.

I know. With the relay points, we would have quite easily scored the win here.

Such poor result for in the 3.000m SC. There goes our chance for promotion.

The first attempt in the women's shot put: 9,96m

I expected more from Grovdal in the 1.500m. Could be some very valuable points in the end. and are so close and it really could go either way. has some strong events left, so I expect and to relegate alongside and .

Norway had a good start of the day, they're now the favorite to win this 1st League imo.

Unsurprisingly, won the world title by winning against in the final with a score of 31-18.

After today, I have to agree with you. is doing what they can without any bad results apart from maybe finishing last in the men's 200m. On the other hand, is performing worse than I expected, mainly in the women's events. The men are performing as can be expected from them. has some good events coming up tomorrow, but the gap might be too big to close. Some general thoughts after today: The southern European countries ( ) are performing better than I anticipated, whereas and are underperforming so far in my eyes. Based on today, I'd say will keep that 7th spot, right before and .

Looking at result, you would think these were the high jump results.

Normally speaking, it will be between and for one ticket to Tokyo. of course the heavy favorite, but beat and back-to-back at the 2018 World Championships. I don't have my hopes too high up, but I'm excited for that match tomorrow.

This is by far the most exciting league. Not for the top spot, because that's for . Then there are three countries following at a small distance: and But behind those four teams there is an intense battle going on between 5 countries for three spots in the second league next year: and are very very close. is doing the best out of those 5 so far, whereas is performing the worst, but any of those teams have practically the same chances of staying in this league.

My thoughts after Day 2: Positive surprises: surprised me in many events, especially in the men's long jump. and continue their good form they showed yesterday. Today's losers: getting disqualified in both relays. Looking at the races, they would have finished first in both relays, so they actually lost 22 points. Had they won those points, I would have had almost zero doubts that would be promoted. Promotion: It's all open now. and will battle it out together. Seeing how well and are doing, they might be the favorites now. Relegation: After the surprisingly good performance of today, I think they will finished in 10th place, leaving behind them. and will battle it out for that 7th spot. Right now, it looks as if might take it.

Why was DSQ in the men's relay? The relay teams managed to lose 22 points in two finals.

Damn. being DSQ in the women's 4x100m relay might make this Championships much more intense then needed for the Dutch.

They might have gifted the title this way. Especially now that also didn't start in the women's 100m final.

Agree, might be actually heading for the top 5. Not looking good for at the moment, but and are not looking good either. are heading for relegation.

After being 1st after the first day, they're currently in last place. disappointed in pretty much every event so far.
