The European Indoor season comes to a climax this Friday, with the start of the European Indoor Championships in Turin.
The startlists have been posted on the front of T&FN, but for convenience sake:
Men's: http://www.european-athletics.org/index ... 4&Itemid=2
Women's: http://www.european-athletics.org/index ... 5&Itemid=2

So has anyone any predictions for the medallists?
Mine are:

400m: Possibly another Russian Cleansweep
800m: Piccione with Okoro in Second
1500m: Alminova to destroy the field
