5000m runner collapses with dehydration! Guy had not finished!

The World Record holder is in the audience if that’s any incentive. Bekh XXX in the LJ.

I think today these are very much improvised teams, not the regular World Cup ones.

That’s “chalks up”.

Detailed stats are here, but I don’t see that particular one yet. Maybe tomorrow they’ll starting putting them out when they become meaningful. https://chorzow23results.european-athletics.com/en/results/athletics/reports.htm Think Čeh, Lavin & Gega are the only candidates so far.

Mishmash is also a word in English, meaning a mixture, usually bad,

Plenty of work for the medics after the steeplechase. Mišmaš can’t get near to Gega’s time from this morning.

Just not able to get any momentum rolling today, so looks like they’re secure in relegation.

200m runner’s muscles goes snap mid-race, has to be rescued.

But not so nice for them to be equal with .

Damn! Missed the 4x100m re-run, but they did 44.21 NR for fourth, so did themselves a favour in the three-way BATTLE of DOOM!

Needs some work on the tattoos also.

But exists!

We got the Women’s BMX Park on ES!

More here. For once the IOC does the right thing. The International Olympic Committee has voted to strip the International Boxing Association of its status as the sport's world governing body. The IOC's executive board recommended the move earlier in June after the IBA failed to meet set reforms following its 2019 suspension over governance issues and alleged corruption. And then, at some time in the near future World Boxing - the heroic band of guerillas hiding deep in the mountains - will be recognised as the official body for Olympic boxing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/65987324

The 2 field events won’t change much now, so yeah, any result at all in the 1500m guarantees it. Would you believe….Sophie O’Sullivan! OK, can officially uncork the sparkling waters now!

Get their first win! Jordan Gusman in the 5000m.

15:10:98 NR! And not last!

Gega once again off on a solo run in the steeple: different battle behind for & once again. Keeping the lap counters busy. CR for Gega, so challenging the overall.

Can’t remember us ever getting any medal in synchro so that’s pretty good.

Win the Women’s Jav, only 5th, so good points back. NR is pushed out to 29.60. dual triple jumper/shot putter wisely keeps to a no-frills shot technique.

Win the men’s 200m, pushed down to third. +8 overall. Another point gained for in the men’s HJ.

The legendary Phil “From the depths of Hell” Healey cannot save the Win for , Elizabeth Gogl chips back a point for . NR for ! Also putting on the pressure in the Women’s Jav & Men’s HJ.

Ha, every single runner in the 200m B race got a PB! So they all mean something to someone.

Off we go with the Division III Athletics & the clash of the titans between & for the overall win.
