Croatia is much closer to promotion than to the relegation. No fears about staying up.

Reason for GBs no show in the relay.... they declared a shot putter on their team by accident Before this the British commentators on Eurosport said that their DNS reflected the fact they did not take this competition seriously this year.... err, no, your admin team just made a terrible and stupid error

Haha. Well thankfully there was no doubt about that but there’s something suspicious about this lol. I can see it now... “Well we can’t relegate Hungary after all but we will have too many teams in the league next year so let’s promote Belarus and let them host the Super League”

Perfect time to get their first win of the competition

Maybe the officials had a train to catch and literally ran off after the final race

By which time you will be promoted again

Belarus team has gone AWOL :D

Maybe except the 3000m, 5000m and steeplechases.... let's be fair about it.

I guess they will just have to re-run the whole race again.

So it's simple now.... Hungary just need to beat 3:08.83 mins and they stay in the league.

3:35.82 for Hungary.... man that was close.

3:35.77 mins was the Irish women's time.

I think Hungary's women's team are the dangers... they have a chance if finishing with a faster time.

So Ireland just have to gain 2 points on Hungary in the relays (a tie will mean Hungary will win as I think Ireland did not win a single event, though not last in any either ).

This is not good for my nerves... it's so close

Stephen Rice with 3 points in men's javelin.... wonderful for him considering he was a dead cert for a 1

Typical Irish sport.... we always lose like this

So happy with our team performance here... I think most would have expected them to be relegated even before the start and with a lot of disasters, we still made it a close fight.

Haha, who knows. But then again, Romania are likely to lose only 1 point to us here so not enough with 2 big scoring events for them (javelin and long jump) still to come in.

So barring a disaster for Romania in the women's LJ or men's javelin then I think they are going to be safe ahead of Ireland.

The announcer was commentating on the Slovakian high jumper.... "the high jumper from Czech Republic.... sorry, haha, I mean Slovania of course.... er, I mean Slovakia... we've been around all the countries lol"
