Quite good result for our men's 4x400. For the first time since their amazing silver Olympic medal (2021) they managed somehow to finish in 2.58(.22). Nice for them being qualified, as well as the women (who missed Bol clearly).

Will we have split times later today? Very curious about that last leg of Manuel.

Not yet, but their best distances (4x400 men and women) yet to come.

Wow, Germany sprinting nation. A NR of 37.67. Very good results from them, after the 4x100 mixed and women. All three 4x100's qualified! Last year's bronze medal winners only 38.00, but qualified as 8th.

When DQ'ed: are you allowed to compete tomorrow?

Bonevacia and Agard were in the team, both ready for retirement home. I think our coach has his focus on the 4x100 mixed and 4x400 men and women. The 4x400 mixed won silver at last years WCh in a time of 3.09,96. That time should be enough for qualification for World Championships in Beijing 2027.

I need to relax? Didn't know that I wasn't

Congrats to your talented team. Don't know what happened with the Dutch men. In qualies and race for bronze they were a lot faster than Italy, but in the second round our third man (Tijmen van Loon) was almost 1,5 second slower than in the two other rounds. We really need Jeffrey Hoogland back in our team. That's the only way to give competition to the British team. However, today was a special day. For the first time since very long we entered the Women Team Pursuit and eventually won the bronze medal. Well, a lot of countries didn't participate, but with a national record of 4.12 still a very promising result. There are rumors that Milano Cortina 1.500 meter speedskating Olympic champion Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong will enter the team.

A miracle just happen: a Dutch judoka won a medal, even gold. Joanne van Lieshout (already World Champion in 2024) had some difficult years, but is back now. Very promising, however she's our only judoka at world level.

Disappointed. I wanted tickets for BMX, 3x3, beach volleyball and athletics. Sadly there were no tickets for BMX and 3x3. Athletics and beach volley way too expensive for me. I will focus on 2030 Winter Olympics again.

Your document (Google Doc) was very helpful. Thanks!

I have a time slot 16th of April, but my girlfriend doesn't . So you're not the only one ... Hopefully there are some tickets left when I enter the ticketshop.

Same for the Dutch crews . Only a silver for Kampman, who won almost every race this week, except the grand final.

Well, my prediction was spot on . What a chaos that relay was. Very bad running from our first runner Keenan Blake, who messed up everything: he could not position himself and had to hold back half of his race. And eventually he forgot to pass on the baton.

So does Lieke Klaver. No Klaver and no Bol, this will become the worst mixed relay in recent history for us.
