Great, Scotland qualified.  One less rival for the Olympic qualifier.

Exactly.

The best two mixed teams in each event (rifle mixed, pistol mixed and trap mixed). And it's the only chance to directly qualify a mixed team for Tokyo. Other than that, you can only qualify for the mixed event by having both a male and female athlete in the respective weapon in the individual competitions qualify.

You are missing the mixed Events and also women's 25 metres pistol.  

Only dressage should be offering group spot at 2018 WEG, one for group G that is for Australia if it doesn’t stay in first six teams and one for F, but no African teams are taking part in dressage team event

Thank you very much for organzing the contest @Wanderer and congratulations @dunadan for the win in the photo finish.

What a day for @Dunadan! Two medals, bronze and gold one! It was a "photo finish", leading most of the time, but eventually winning the race. Two perfect prediction brought him the win: Men's Hammer Throw and Women's 200m. Another medal for you and team Italy! Congratulation!  
What second half of the championships for @EselTheDonkey! Very close to win the event, but one perfect prediction on Men's 400m Hurdles was enough for silver only this time. But I am sure he's satisfied with his second medal in a very few events he entered! Congrats   
It was either team Italy or team Germany, and Germany prevailed! Congrats @OlympicsFan on winning bronze medal. Great predictions throughout the championships.
@Henry_Leon was there, but few points short for the podium. Finally top 5 showing for our beloved Belgian @heywooduGreat debut for @Speedy, another top 10 for @dcro and maybe a bit disappointing end contest-wise for @Monzanator but I believe he's actually very happy with the results of Polish athletes. Decent result for @chrischi08 and @Pablita  
 
Special thanks to my little elf @Werloc for all the help  
 
Thank you everyone for participation. General Standings coming in next three days and then we'll have few weeks break before we start our "fall season". I definitely need time off
Until mid-September

I disagree with this. IMO, the more, the better. You already Need a good Performance to qualify, so I wouldn't call them tourists. Especially not in Badminton doubles, where only 16 doubles per discipline are allowed.

German heptathletes Mareike Arndt and Louise Grauvogel were involved in a car accident on the way from the Olympic Stadium to their hotel and are taken to Hospital. So far, there are no informations about their injuries. Of course they can't compete at the 800 metres.

Gesa Krause in 3000 Metres Steeplechase (though of course it's a comparatively new discipline). It was at the ISTAF in 2017 and is even more recent than Vetter's and Klosterhalfen's records.

These are placing points. The winner of a race gets one point, the runner up two points and so on.

But at least the correct team won.

Heptathlon is always dangerous, because there are several chances that something goes wrong. You could have three fouls in Long Jump or fall over the hurdles, for example. Of course Decathlon is even more unpredictable. 

For our timezone it's from 2:00 am to about 5:00 pm.
 
During 50km race Walking it already starts at 11:pm (the previous day). During the other race walking events and the Marathons it starts at midnight.

Maybe Marcel Hirscher is searching for new challenges?

Olympic Champion Kristina Vogel had an accident during Training and is seriously injoured. Details are not known, but it's supposed to be an injury at the spinal. The national Coach was quoted, that they are "very worried".
