The 2016 European Championships are being held in Amsterdam, starting on July 6, and with the best turnout and largest teams in many years, the meet should be a great part of the build up to Rio. Next to the US Olympic Trials, I love to go to the European Champs: great competition and wonderful crowds. We will provide daily updates from Amsterdam with our team of writers and with the help from Alfonz Juck and his team at EME NEWS.

AMSTERDAM (NED): On a cool Amsterdam evening, and in the presence of the Monarch, the 23rd European Athletics Championships were officially opened tonight. His Royal Highness King Willem-Alexander took his place alongside Svein Arne Hansen, the President of European Athletics, and Dutch athletes past and present at the Museumplein for a glorious occasion. The flags of all 50 nations competing here were carried in, with the last being that of the hosts, brought by youngsters and championship mascot Adam on the final part of its journey and handed on to Dutch heptathlete Nadine Broersen. With cameras at the ready from the big crowd watching – which included among the dignitaries the IAAF President Sebastian Coe – it was time to launch the party. Writes European Athletics.

AMSTERDAM (NED): Standards in qualifications men 225 565 800 16.65 20.30 64.00 75.00 and 81.50. Women 192 455 660 14.00 17.30 58.00 70.00 60.00.

In throws interestingly higher standards in men shot put, women discus, women hammer and both javelins this year. Down women shot put and the same men hammer.

Event by event short previews

100 m: Vicaut to attack the meet record. In second row Harvey, Martina and Reus.

200 m: Martina is the hero of the stadium, but Mitchell-Blake with debut on senior International stage and sub 20 from USA.

400 m: Galvan, Sanford, Janezic similarly fast, Maslak the indoor king wants to repeat Helsinki 2012.

800 m: Hot duel Bosse vs Poland, but also World medalist Tuka and in-shape Rimmer.

1500 m: Tesfaye and Holusa on paper, but in slow race chance for Lewandowski, Ingebrigtsen and French duo.

5000 m: Ibrahimov or Kaya? That is the question. Are we underestimating fast Spanish squad (Fifa, Mechaal)?

10 000 m: Arikan or Kaya? That is the question. Dark horse Aras Kaya.

HM: Kigen Ozbilen is the clear favorite, but also Evans Kiplagat who runs for Azerbaijan. Swiss Abraham to be mentioned.

SC: French affair, Mekhissi full of motivation after what happened at Letzigrund.

110mH: Another French affair, mainly Bascou, but Pozzi with Germans also ready.

400mH: It looks on paper like Hussein vs Copello. Is Green ready to spoil their plans?

HJ: Jimbo show. Tamberi for gold. But very open for other medals.

PV: AirLavillenie likes this event. Germany, Poland and possibly Kudlicka with Filippidis for other medals.

4×100 m: France vs Britain and Germany. Dark horse Turkey, home motivated Netherlands.

4×400 m: Britain looks clear, but Belgium with Borlees and also Poland with top depth for the podium.

PV: Greek affair Stefanidi and Kyriakopoulou against Swiss rec holder Buchler.

LJ: All eyes on Spanovic and fight for other medals. Mainly from British and German side.

DT: Perkovic and her solo. Fischer leads the rest.

HT: Also here Wlodarczyk in clear position. Heidler can manage for silver and bronze wide open.
