Seeing a lot of online chatter that BBC isn't going to be showing the European Champs next week. This seems strange given we've had 2 Diamond League events since the Daily Mail article and on both occasions, the announcer has said the BBC will be covering and the programme pages are up on the website.
"Covering" = articles on the website & live radio, clips on the news. There's no actual live coverage scheduled.

Checking the wind speed……-0.8 for the 100m.

Samuel Dickinson likely to have done enough to take the second spot in the men's team after winning the 'GB selection race' at the European Triathlon Cup in Kielce. In a nice touch, they even put on a live stream of the race so could see he finished pretty strongly and was able to sprint away in the last couple of hundred metres.
Brownlee put in a decent showing and was among the first group out of the water and led on the bike leg. His running was better than I've seen in a while and whilst he was able to respond to a couple of attacks, when Dickinson went to the front int he final sprint, he didn't have the legs to match the speed.
Yeah, think so. All he had to do was show his 1500m is not terrible & sounds like he’s done that.

Hadn't realised that the US Nationals were last weekend. Big names in action in Charleston, West Virginia, nice up & down the river valley course. Main races on YT. And there is no such thing as 5.5 miles. That is 5 miles 4 furlongs, buddy.

It would be embarrassing to include darts or billiards in the Winter Olympic program.
I can see a darts biathlon working though.

World Athletics is working on some new events.
I’m guessing the Mixed 4x100m is to persuade Thomasbachgoldmedal1976 to cough up another Olympic Gold. What’s the reason with the new weights? Unless you are going to have lightweight categories or using them in multievents or….

Weird mid-season slump this weekend. This last couple of weeks we have had TONS of great athletics, cycling, last-chance Olympic qualifiers....
This weekend....not much of anything.
What is there?

Giant strawberry? Was there someone in a strawberry costume in the crowd or something?
It’s the Oslo mascot. Or possibly a member of the Royal Family.

How is his career almost certainly over? He’s young, he’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.
The Russians used to work on the theory that if you doped 'em young, they'd get a ban in their early career, come back, and still have a net gain from the teenage doping.

A fifth and probably final Grand Tour podium, three of them in the last two years after his 36th birthday. In his time he won the tour over Doumoulin and Froome, was runner up to Bernal and Roglic, and third behind Pogi twice, Vingegaard and Danny Martinez.....two olympic gold, and he won most of the big 1 week races - Suisse, Romandie, Dauphine and Paris-Nice (though never Adriatico), as well as Rundfahrts, the Alps and the Algarve. Not a bad palmares for a cranky deisel from South Wales...
As often happens in cycling, periods of dominance are intersperced with interregna as the new generation sorts its order out - and in the short chaotic period, a strong willing rider can really make his mark, albeit briefly - Think Roche and Delgado between the Lemond/Fignon/Hinault years and the reign of Indurain, or Sastre. cadel Evans and Wiggo between Contador and Froome (happens in tennis too - note some of the big winners between Sampras and Federer eras).
I think Thomas belongs in that category, doing his work in the interregnum between Froome and Pogi/Rog/Vingegaard. His time is now done, but he's put together a rather lovely palmares in those years. And he'll always have Paris.
And single-handedly responsible for getting Welsh-language TV to cover cycling! I remember watching their first day, they were literally having to invent Welsh equivalents for cycling jargon live on TV.

Anyhow, time to start your planning for the Champs. Here's the Eurovision Sport TV schedule - although the main stream might be geoblocked in your country by your local broadcaster, the special event streams are usually FTA.
