Somewhere, in a hotel around Berlin, the quiet melodic snoring of a few writers can be heard as, exhausted after a week of writing, missing coffee cups and little sleep, they collapse after the last night of the European Championships. Somewhere, Stuart Weir has fallen asleep, and I am sure he is too tired to snore. Thanks to Stuart Weir who wrote all week to provide our RunBlogRun readers a unique view of the 2018 European Athletics Championships, an event that EAA President Arne Sven Hansen noted was the finest he has seen since 1970, perhaps the finest ever.

I have already had a moan about the scheduling at Berlin and I suppose I am in some ways a traditionalist but ending a championship not with the 4 by 400 relays doesn’t seem right. But that’s what the Germans have done. 4 by 400 was last night and we had the 4 by 100s to finish tonight.

That said it was a night of high drama. Here are some of the things which happened.

1 GB won both the sprint relays (to go with the women’s 100m and 200m, the men’s 100m and silver in the men’s 200m.)

2 All that was after there was high drama in the second heat of the men’s 4 by 100 m prelim when the German third and fourth runners got in a tangle and both finished up lying on the track.

3 There was a phenomenal men’s pole vault competition with four men over 5.90. Armand Duplantis won with 6.05 and he is only 18.

4 Sifan Hassan won the women’s 5000m and Laura Muir the 1500 – no surprises there.

5 Anita Wlodarczyk won the women’s hammer with a Championship record of 78.94.

6 Gesa-Felicitas Krause won the steeplechase to give the German crowd and Berlino something to cheer about
