Mightily impressed by Jaque, again

4,5km and still going excellent for both Jaque and Bruna! Hoping right now Bruna is still sticking to the plan of keeping things under control, even though she might feel like she could go faster.

Jaque going strong, Bruna still on schedule.

Excellent start for Bruna and Jaque! Keeping in mind Bruna's target for at least the first 7km is basically to just 'keep it under control', nothing too crazy, since she isn't even prepared for a 10k (obviously, training for 3 months is too short for that).

Diggins

Diggins increasing her gap on Karlsson!

24 minutes, holy Mary.

Tight race so far!

Nice monotonous cheering from the Finnish coach

Without spoiling results: anyone has any idea how long this slopestyle stuff is going to take?! It should be long finished...

There I saw it, but for example my grandma - who really wanted to watch it as well - depended on it being on TV. Hopefully it'll be in some replay. At least we can record it to show her when we go there..

Well, fantastic, they made a really cool video/interview, but the stupid slopestyle got in the way of that being on TV

The freestyle stuff is messing with the programming, let's go with the cross-country

For those interested, Eurosport's broadcast of the women's 10k freestyle starts at 12:20 CET (first athlete starts at 12:30), and somewhere in the 10 minute preview they'll show an interview with our Totallympian @brunamoura

Great, we're stuck with NOS again, which usually shows stuff on their non-rewatchable and non-pausable live stream Oh how I wish Eurosport got the athletics rights back.

Which genius had the brilliant idea to put the rails at the bottom of the slopestyle course, and so not speeding up the run from top to bottom, but slowing the entire thing down to a near-standstill every single run?

I did find the documents, but usually there's the easy-to-use timetable page where you have links to the start list + results. I hope it will appear at some point.

Where is the usual European-Athletics.com page with Timetable & Results (which is usually together in one handy page, which also includes start lists and such so one can also easily follow it when not live)? https://www.european-athletics.com/competitions/european-athletics-indoor-championships/overview All kinds of stuff but the main page to follow the event seems to be missing.

All taking the famous Bubka tactics And come on, who wouldn't do the same?

Impressive 5th place for the Canadian men Those were some fun finals today.

Diggins was fantastic today.

None were DSQ and they still had 15 seconds to spare towards 16th place

Because it's now 15 instead of 10 teams in the final And they timed their results nice btw

While calling Bruna after her individual sprint qualifying on Thursday, while she was standing in that warmup/cooldown area where athletes do their last-minute prep and stuff, she at some point walked away for a second. I heard some talking in the background, and later she told me it was the Mexican she had waited for at the finish, Regina (they've known each other for a while). While they were talking, apparently one Jessie Diggins walked by and was super excited about Regina's Mexican race suit, offering a swap with her American one, and after some hesitation on the other side, Diggins made it really clear it was definitely not a joke So they got in touch later to set a place to meet, and now:

Anyhow, great race by Bruna, only 1,5s behind Jaque is one of the closest - if not the closest - margins ever between them! Both did excellent
