STATS (by Ken Nakamura)

Men´s 10000m: Mo Farah became
the fiirst British runner to win 10000m in the 
European Championships.  The
British runners finished first and second, first 1-2 finish since Italian had
done so in 1986 (in fact Italian swept the medal in 1986). The first Km split
of 2:59.70, as well as 2Km, 3, 4 and 5Km split (14:38.10) were all very slow.
In fact, splits for 1,2,3,4,and 5Km are slower than any race since and
including 1950 European Championships. The winning time of 28:24.99 was the
slowest winning time since 1974 edition of Euro Championships.

Men´s 100m: First round heat
time of 10.19 by Christophe Lemaitre tied the fastest first round time of 10.19
by Pietro Mennea in 1978 and Max Moriniere in 1990.

Women´s 800m: 1:58.89 by
Svetlana Klyuka is the fastest first round time ever, eclipsing the previous
fastest first round time of 1:59.96 by Tatyana Providokhina from 1978.  However, it should be noted that
Providokhina´s time was recorded in three rounds scenario while Klyuka have
only heat and the final. Yuliya Krevsun did not qualify for the final despite
running

1:59.44 in heat 2. This is the
fastest ever time that failed to qualify for the final of 800m at the European
Championships. The previous fastest non qualifying time was 2:00.08 by Diane Modahl
in 1998.

Women´s SP:  BLR finished 1-2 to match their 1-2 finish
four years ago. 20.48 by Ostapchuk is the farthest throw by Belarus shot putter
in the European Championships.

new Li Ning javelin shoes. Made in Norwegian colors for European champs.

 

CZECH REPUBLIC: Javelin legend
Jan Zelezny who is currently IOC Member, Czech team javelin coach and Ostrava
meeting director said after his arrival to Barcelona. „I visited the stadium it
looks similar as in 1992 when I won here my first olympic gold.
I consider this stadium as one of the nicest in the world. It is nearly 20
years after the games and all looks in good shape. And we know how difficult it
is to keep the main olympic stadiums after the games, I m remembering
Atlanta. It is nice to be here again,” said Zelezny who´s athlete Jarmila
Klimesova qualified to finals. But his main expectations are in men competition
with Petr Frydrych and Vitezslav Vesely aiming for high positions.

olympic winner Yulia Nesterenko of Belarus.

 

TURKEY: Turkish double olympic
medalist Elvan Abeylegesse is reportedly beeing in great shape and plans for
a double. Observers are saying she might have the possibility to achieve
marks at European record level but at the championships without pacemakers that
does not look as a possibility. But as reported by Turkish media she had
a difficult travel. On Monday in a car accident she escaped save and
healthy but missed her connections. So the president of her club in Turkey
offered a private plane and helped.

Really liked this tweet. @EilishMccolgan took two medals at the #commonwealthgames2022. Her first in the 10,000m was gold, and her second was in the 5,000m with a silver! This was her 4th CG games! ...@birmingham2022, @ASICSeurope

Team Scotland @Team_Scotland

GOLD! 🥇

What a run from Eilish McColgan to win the Commonwealth Games 10,000m title 32 years after her mum! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
