The European Athletics Championships ended on Sunday evening, August 12, 2018. Six days of amazing performances, new stars, old stars, moments of ecstacy and, for some, moments of agony. Watching it from afar, @runblogrun relied on social media, text stories, instagram, twitter and FB to help fill in the story. We also tested a new approach to Conversations with Larry, and are thankful for your support.
