Ok, I'm pissed. No way to see 3000m Steeplechase since LRT are geoblocking the livestream, but they're not streaming athletics this morning as well. I woke up for this shit...

4 medals for Lithuania from three different athletes, that is an amazing achievement for us. Hopefully for the next important competition, Danas Rapšys is going to be in a desired form as well. It would be great if Savickas and Pavlidi returned to form as our talented prospects on their first steps of senior careers. And looking forward to what Pancerevas and Plytnykaitė can show in the following years.

For future broadcasts, perhaps our national broadcaster is not geoblocking our broadcasts. It was broadcasting beach volleyball, athletics, swimming, cycling and rowing on three different channels on their website. And since you wouldn't be able to understand the shit that our commentators are talking about, it would even be bearable

All I can say is that she's amazing Hopefully continues at least till Paris, but I will always cherish this comeback even if she decides to pursue her studies without competitive swimming.

Nearly all of our team has started already. Tomorrow we have Jasiūnaitė for JT, Karinauskaitė for 3000m SC, Galvydytė for 800m, Truskauskas for 200m and after that it's only Baikšytė for HJ and Žiūkas in the 20km Walk, so our championships is more than halfway over already.

God damn it, I was coming over here to say that our melting man qualified to the final, but you beat me to it with the melting joke. As for Mykolas Alekna, he's mostly training in California, so heat is nothing new to him this season, plus he's built much much slimmer than an average discus thrower.

After 9 years of trying and probably during her most problematic season ever, former European U23 champion Dovilė Kilty finally qualified to a senior triple jump final.

Mykolas had such a long season that I'm not entirely surprised if he won't be able to peak again for the ECH final.

FINALLY A FINAL for Lithuania I'd imagine 64 metres should be good enough for a top 12 here.

After having a close fight against world nr. 2, Dumbauskaitė and Grudzinskaitė barely held on and managed to beat a much weaker Ukranian pair. Top 24 secured, but I think that's the end of it for us in these championships.

I remember that Germans are known for being strictly punctual, but like, nearly every single event that I plan to follow is always late

NM's can always happen and these championships are just not working out for us in every step of the way

Disappointing end to the European Championships for Paulikienė and Kliokmanaitė with two 2:1 defeats. I'm hoping that Dumbauskaitė and Grudzinskaitė can survive later today, since they took a set off of world nr. 2 yesterday.

With how these championships are going for team Lithuania, I'd say it's right about time to miss the discus throw and triple jump finals in a few hours

Danas Rapšys is not starting in the 400m Freestyle. He said that he is unhappy with the current form and these results are not what he was training for. He also added that he doesn't want to swim just to make the final and he is going to focus on the men's 4x100 medley relay, but our backstroke and butterfly are so underdeveloped, that I don't really see any glimpses of a good result.

Just came back from probably the most awful concert experience of my life where I had to try to stop myself from sneezing on stage for two hours Seeing Rūta Meilutytė swimming a Lithuanian record in 50m Breaststroke brought a smile on my face

Good to know that I'll offend somebody either way It's Čekija in Lithuanian, so Czechia would make sense for us, but I always wrote it as Czech Republic, but started to doubt myself when I saw Czechia popping up more often. It's the exact same thing with when did Netherlands drop the The Netherlands

Tell me when he finds that bridge I felt like I was having a heatstroke yesterday and today I woke up with a cold I have to leave to work in an hour and the entire morning was also filled with disappointment in sports

Every Lithuanian is so off-form here, all I feel is pain

17th place doesn't sound awful, until you see that 17 finished and he lost nearly 20 minutes

With Krupeckaitė retiring, it seems that we are barely clinging to being somewhat competitive in this event. I just hope track-cycling doesn't die here in Lithuania, because we have so many good memories from this event.

I always write out the full Czech Republic, but I've seen many places including this forum using Czechia. Which would be the preferred version of spelling for czechs?

I think that women's shot put has become a rather unpopular discipline lately. Seeing as it's not as fashionable as running, jumping or even the physique that javelin throwers tend to have, not many young women athletes are becoming interested in this discipline and even less go pro. Here in Lithuania right now, we have a single athlete that specialises solely on the shot put, the other women are discus throwers first, others are throwing for the sake of heptathlon or are in that age range where they force you to do everything. There was a bit more interest in this discipline, but nearly every prospect retired, I somehow wonder it must be a similar case throughout other countries as well. To emphasise, here are our best shot put attempts from this season: I. Zarankaitė, E. Zarankaitė, Rudytė and Stuglytė that didn't fit in the screenshot are discus throwers. Bačianskaitė, Juškevičiūtė and Vaitaitytė are all heptathletes. Nikiforovaitė is the only one that mainly focuses on shot put, but since she is still u18 level this year, it's highly likely she won't continue that much further as all our shot put prospects quit by the age of 24.

2018 Nancy here: what happened to the other two Ingebrigtsens? Wanted to ask this question during the WCH

Horrible season from Zarankaitė. Her SB was her very first start in Spring. She never even reached 60 meters and was at her worst in both the World and European Championships. Training under her mum is not cutting it anymore or she was not focusing that much on sports this season. Seeing as she threw 62 meters last summer, this is such a wasted opportunity.
