The girl from Luxembourg is having a once in a century competition for her standards, but Ndolo still wasted a huge chance here. With a medal she could have made a huge step towards Tokyo, but now she will almost need a miracle to qualify. The part between 7:8 and 9:13 was some of the worst fencing i have ever seen, she looked completely clueless against an opponent who looks like a hobby atlete (easily 20 pounds overweight).

Ndolo once again proves that she is in great shape. I just hope that she stays focus and won't waste this huge chance for winning a medal. I have the feeling that in general epee seems to be the most unpredictable weapon. Sadly in the men's sabre all german athletes except for Hartung are already out. Now he has to try to save the german honor.

11.37 for Seedo in women's 100 m prelims. If nothing completely crazy happens, she will win U20 gold at the age of 16 ... I think the european U18 record is 11.24, she could very well break that record here with one more year of eligibility left! For the top 10 on the all-time U18 list she would need 11.20.

I had mainly Van Klinken and Bol in mind. Seedo shouldn't fight for a medal unless she drops a lot of time. Which events are Sedney and van Daalen entered in? At this stage it is hard to predict who has the best chances to be successful at senior level, but i would say from a german perspective the most promising talent is Leni Wildgrube in women's pole vault. Other interesting talents are Marie Scheppan (women's 400 m), Talea Prepens (women's 100 m), Lucie Kienast (women's long jump & heptathlon), Samantha Borutta (women's hammer throw), Stefan Volzer (men's 110 m hurdles), Leo Neugebauer (men's decathlon) and Malik Diakite (men's decathlon). Sadly some of the most promising talents will compete at the EYOF instead.

You should do much better at the U20 european championships, i think you will win at least 3 gold medals there and will probably finish ahead of Germany in the medal table.

I wonder if there will be any events where the winning marks will be better than at the U23 european championships ...? Sadly some big names (Ingebrigtsen, Burgin) are missing, but there are still more than enough very promising talents left (Kokhan, Lillefosse, Vicente, Seedo, Nacheva, Van Klinken, Miller, Sclabas, Mahuchikh, Tzenggo, Healy, Hunt, Scotti, Van de Velde, Bol, Carmoy, Iapichino, Johansson, Sotero, Ivanenko, Sorgeloos). I think out of the smaller nations Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Belgium and Belarus should do really great. Interesting note: In the men's discus throw there will be twins from the Czech Republic competing who could both win a medal. Also Belgium and Belarus seem to have tons of medal contenders across many disciplines, those nations seem to do a great work at junior level.

Thanks! I wonder why they show every diving competition, but not open water swimming where Germany actually can win medals ...

Congratulations, GB is starting to pull away from Germany, also some very surprising athletes on that list, for example Amy Hunt. Who do you see as main candidates in the field events? Lake (high jump), Proctor (long jump), Hitchon (hammer throw), Gale (high jump), Duckworth (decathlon) ... someone else? I have a hard time imagining that GB will have more than 6-8 athletes with the standard in field events, which is quite surprising for such a big nation. Germany on the other hand is doing fine in field events (In the end it should be over 30 athletes with the standard there) and in track events on the women's side (probably 10-15 woman should achieve the standard in their respective events), but they will have trouble in the track events on the men's side, i don't see more than 4-6 guys with the standard there.

Does anyone have a replay? I would be eternally thankful!

Amazing result! 4 out of 4 quotas for Germany. Expected gold for Wellbrock, but i am super surprised by Muffels. Very disappointing result for Paltrinieri, although i kind of expected this. He easily has the speed to win gold/silver, but he just hasn't enough experience with open water swimming yet. If he decides to swim this event in 2020, he should do much better there and i think the (very likely) gold in the 1500 free will be a big consolation for him.

21 medals and 9 golds is a great result for Germany. The last time that a nation won more medals at european U23 championships was 2009 when Russia won 25 medals. In terms of golds this is the best result ever for Germany and in terms of total medals only 1999 (25 medals) and 2005 (26 medals) were better. Also with a bit more luck (in men's 100 m, women's 400 m, women's 3000 m SC and women's long jump) and if all the best german athletes would have competed, Germany could have won up to 12 golds and 30 medals. I fear that the U20 european championships next week won't even be remotely as successful for Germany.

I am quite shocked that many of the athletes (for example the turkish guy in triple jump or the lithuanian woman in triple jump) look rather in their late 30's than in their early 20's. Overall i would say that Germany, Poland and Belarus have the most promising talents here. The only track talents that could someday win a medal at the global stage in my opinion are Herman and maybe Reh. In the field events we saw many more talents that could some day win medals at the global stage.

He used an illegal substance knowingly, there is no way that this guy should've been allowed to compete during the next 2 years. Also please stop looking for excuses whenever an italian athlete gets caught, i am sure even you don't have the time for that. Clearly people who know more about this than you thought that this can enhance and athletes' performance, so who are you to say otherwise? I agree about the second part, people who use drugs (alcohol, cannabis, cigarettes and so on), clearly have no self-control and therefore are with no use for society.

Really disappointing result for Beck. I hope that she will learn from this and attack the next time. She easily has the speed to beat the girls who finished ahead of her, but she can't just swim with everyone else and hope to outsprint them, she has to attack at least 1 km before the finish line. Hopefully the men's race won't be as much of a snoozefest. I am optimistic that Wellbrock or Paltrinieri will attack much earlier.

Same is true for the polish guy in the 50 free. Two known dopers allowed to compete in that event. I think swimming is the sport where it is the easiest to get away with doping (maybe except for weightlifting).

Ultra weak level of competition in many events so far, except for women's 100 m hurdles, women's high jump, men's long jump and men's hammer throw. Winning marks in many events (for example men's/women's 100 m, women's 400 m, women's triple jump) are embarrassing.

German channel ZDF will have an internet live stream for all events as far as i know. I also think you can watch everything with Eurosport player?

Extremely disappointing that we won't have a prediction contest for open water swimming. There are a dozen prediction contests for football every year but no prediction contest for open water swimming despite there only being a world championship every two years.

When will the prediction contest for the aquatics world championships be released? Competitions start on sunday ...

What kind of track is this???? The times in the U23 team pursuit were completely insane! France on the women's side and Russia + Belgium on the men's side with absolutely freakish improvements.

Did you only count 2 athletes per event? If not, then I don't think this is right for Germany: Men: Poul Zellmann (200 free) Florian Wellbrock (400 free, 800 free, 1500 free) Ruwen Straub (1500 free) Christian Diener (200 back) Marco Koch (200 breast) Maximilian Pilger (200 breast) Marius Kusch (100 butterfly) David Thomasberger (200 butterfly) Philip Heintz (200 IM & 400 IM) Women: Leonie Antonia Beck (400 free & 800 free) Sarah Köhler (800 free & 1500 free) Lea Boy (1500 free) Celine Rieder (1500 free) Laura Riedemann (100 back) Angelina Köhler (100 butterfly) Franziska Hentke (200 butterfly) -> 16 athletes in total (+ Selin and Schwarz, so currently 18 for Germany)

Athletes who hit the qualification times at european junior championships: Men: Artem Selin 50 free (21.83) Robin Hanson 200 free (1:46.93) Sven Schwarz 800 free (7:53.74) Ilia Sibirtsev 800 free (7:53.34) Aleksandr Egorov 800 free (7:52.83) Andrei Minakov 100 butterfly (51.66) Apostolos Papastamos 400 IM (4:15.18) Women: Giulia Salin 800 free & 1500 free (8:29.19 & 16:13.59) Beril Boecekler 1500 free (16:21.39) Viktor Mihalyvari Farkas 1500 free (16:26.03) Daria Vaskina 100 back (1:00.17) Erika Gaetani 200 back (2:10.28) Anastasyia Shkurdai 100 butterly (57.39) Evgeniia Chikunova 200 breast (2:21.07) Not sure if some of them (Minakov, Vaskina, Shkurdai, Chikunova) didn't already hit the qualification times earlier ... ? Boekecler, Gaetani and Chikunova (all born in 2004) must be among the youngest "qualified" athletes on the women's side, while Minakov, Selin and Schwarz (all born in 2002) must be among the youngest "qualified" athletes on the men's side. I think this as well shows that the qualification time for women's 1500 free (and also women's 800 free and women's 200 back) is way too soft ...
