This is Stuart Weir’s first piece on Sunday and the last day of the 36th Euopean Athletics Indoor Championships.

Sunday round-up

Seven sessions of athletics, spread over four days, came to an end on Sunday evening with 12 finals in just over 2 hours. The final session had everything – excellence, excitement, the unexpected, sisterly rivalry, false starts and photo finishes, thankfully no disqualifications for lane infringements, Mondo Duplantis clearing 6 meters and like all good championships it came to an end with the women’s 4 by 400m relay. And like all really good championship finales, Britain were in the medals in both relays.

The only sad news today was the withdrawal of the host country’s men’s relay team because two of the athletes had tested positive. We also lost an athlete from the hurdles for the same reason. ToruÅ„ had been a great host and the mascot, Katarzynka, the gingerbread man, felt like a friend. And don’t forget that making gingerbread since the Middle Ages is what first put the city of ToruÅ„ on the map. Hosting athletics is also what the city is known for. I was struck, reading the flash quotes, how many athletes referred to previous excellent performances in the city and their promise to return again one day.

The afternoon program started with two hotly contested sprint hurdles races; then the men’s pole vault and the women’s triple jump started followed by the women’s high jump ensuring that all the track events have a backdrop of jumps. The heptathlon came to a conclusion.

We had the shortest event for women, 60m, and the longest for men – 3000m. The highlights, if one can pick just one in an absorbing program, were the two 800m races. Jakob Ingebrigsten completed a double, adding the 3000m to the previous days 1500m, running a PR and without any controversy.

Netherlands won both the relays to put them top of the medal table with 4 golds and seven medals in total. Portugal was second with three medals – dealing only in gold! Britain topped the other medal table of most medals in total with 12 followed by Poland with ten, but only one gold. Twenty-two countries gained at least one medal.
