nothing to say, just setting up a thread ahead of time

I'll be interested to see how these guys do

60 - Prescod/Barnes/Kranz
400 - Warholm
1600 - J Inge
60H - Ortega/PM-L/the Cypriot Trajkovic
HJ - Tamberi
PV - Lisek
LJ - Menkov/Tentaglou
SP - Sorl/Stanek/my Lux-man Bertemes

Marks-snob (and xenoclueless) that I am, the win is less important than the numbers they (or anyone else) put up.

I don't see Reece Prescod's name in the final entry list!!

ADD: Also don't see Menkov's name for the LJ!!

ADD" Just got word from a Twitter source that Prescod never entered the meet!

Prescod never intended to do the Euro indoors and didn't run at the British trials. I think he just did a few 60s to work on the first part of his 100m.

Did Pawel Maslak scratch from the open 400?
He's listed among the entrants, but he's not lited on the heat sheets!
Q round has begun, and he's not listed!

Qualification process for the mLJ was/is such a joke. 14 athletes were entered in the end, 12 came to start, 9 scored a result in the qualifier, and 8 went to the final.

Meanwhile medal contender Michel Tornéus(3 consecutive indoor euro medals) who wanted very badly to be there couldn't get a spot having jumped 7.91. 7.64 was enough for final..

This is not a championship, it's a glorified GP event.

Yup, he announced his withdrawal a few days ago.

And the defending champion Konrad Bukowiecki is out of the final 20.18 was only good enough for 11th place in qualifying.

Filip Ingebrigtsen getting DQed after winning his heat, so Jakob will not have any family to accompany him in the final.

Story posted to our home page on February 15 said he was out.

Guttormsen made the PV final with 5.70.
No one went higher!
So a 19 year old Collegiate is in the Euros final, despite the NCAA being just 7 days away!!
LOL

No one went higher, because the qualification was decided at this point and there were no attempts beyond that height.

Michał Haratyk wins the first men's gold of these champs He hasn't had a great indoor season, but he managed to peak when it mattered, with a 21.65 in the first round, two more throws not far below that and a couple of really long fouls.

[Powell]

Karsten Warholm looked very comfortable running a 45.95 in the semis. He could do something special in the final.

[Pakilo]

So, recorded sessions on Eurovision Sports TV for delayed watching are long gone past!!! Good job EAA!

What was the reason for his DQ?

(And in related Ingebrigtsen news, I see that Jakob's Q in the 3,000m is listed as a Euro U20 record. And Henrik Ingebrigtsen also advanced in that event.)
