On the other hand it means that the action just keeps coming in the stadium which is definitely a good thing. Remember how frustrating it was for field event athletes when they were constantly being interrupted mid-competition by 5 minute ceremonies.. Perhaps they could do them in a bunch at the beginning of the session.
Also for events like World Indoors which lasts 3 days & these Europeans which are 5 days the number of events in a condensed programme mean the ceremonies can take up a big chunk of time. There were 11 finals last night which would have added about an hour to the programme. At Worlds & Olympics where events are spread out over 9/10 days they take up much less time overall each session. |

Norwegian girl apparently not running 5000 so placed small bet on twell and McColgan to medal and also win hahaha
![]() Shame for Grovdal but she must be happy. The 10/5 double is always tough at the Euros because of the quick turnaround. Having said that the "Turk", Yasemin Can, might have enough in hand to win gold again. |

Ah ok.
I think all the pressure got to her. I can't see her make rio even if I think US have sometimes interfered with the top 3? More carnage, Shamier Little didn't qualify for 400 hurdles. Lashawn Merritt looked good in 200 semis, Gatlin unconvincing finishing 2nd in his semi which means he's in lane 8 for the final. Just when you think you might get rid of 1 drug cheat from the 200 it looks like Merritt will make the team instead

Anouk Vetter lands crucial PB in last jump of the LJ, in a tight battle with Nana Djimou for the gold - could come down to the 800m.

Swedish 4x400 squad look like they have just had their bath and have come downstairs to give granny a kiss before beddiebyes.

Right, GBR women up in the 4x400 - Doyle, Adeoye, Massey & Bundy-Davis.
Turks obviously don't much care about the 4x400 because the team looks to be all-Turkish, therefore probably rubbish. And indeed Turks are in danger of being lapped. Stroll in the park for GBR girls. GBR Time 3:36:42 EL. |

Bahta's been injured a lot I think? |

Ah, so this morning is one of those sessions with not a lot going on.
Still, at least the American all or nothing qualification sparks some interest with its usual share of victims. These days however, I do question whether they have enough strength in depth (even in the sprints) to pull that off convincingly. |

GBR fastest qualifiers, 3:26, not 3:36 as I said before. UKR & POL in 3:27.

GBR men go now - Yousif, Williams, Levine, Dunn.
Turks obviously taking this one more seriously, only one actual Turk in the team. Turks have made the classic mistake of putting the only Turk on the lead-off leg, so are miles behind. |

Not surprised about Harrison. You kinda saw it coming.
Why did she change her name to Keni? |

I'd be majorly shocked if she wasn't. Bukowiecki is doing both champs, so it's horses for courses.

Heats and final of the 4x100 are tonight. Anyway, there are a series of Paralympic races this afternoon, but they will be Eurosport Player only, because Tennis. |

Oh, you are right, just the heats today Tomorrow's coverage is going to be very much truncated, again because Tennis and Tour de France, so if you don't have Eurosport Player you might miss a lot

Easy qualification no drama for the 4x4 teams. Can see both golds going to the Brits with some new blood to come in like Hudson-Smith & Emily Diamond
