Been a very good and entertaining champs with two absolute stars of the future breaking through. Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Armand Duplantis winning golds at 17 and 18 years old! Ridiculously talented.
Dina was also awesome and at 22(?) is going to be in the mix for medals at majors for a few years yet.

That series of vaults was incredible in any circumstances but even more so when you consider he is only 18 and competing in a strength event.
yep, though a few others have also jumped 6.05 including lavillenie
it was great to see lavillenie's reaction each time duplantis cleared a height
muir, mccolgan and asher smith are my 3 favourite athletes to watch right now so it was fantastic to see them all pick up medals tonight. Muir is just the best, mccolgan ran her own race to got the reward she deserved and asher smith is like watching bolt at his best, I can't have been the only one celebrating as she took the baton in 4th place knowing it was all over
What the youngest Ingebrigtsen brother did, wining the 1,500m one night then the 5,000m the next, was unbelievable for any athlete, let alone a lad of seventeen who's still got a lot of development to go.
They say there's a sister of twelve who's very talented, too. I wonder what they put in the water where they live.
Pleased for Dartford's finest too- Adam Gemili - after disappointing in the individual sprints.
We have been lucky enough to make 5 sessions of the athletics in Berlin! Truly amazing performances, British and others. Saw Adam and all the winners tonight looking very happy! Shame the relay teams didn't get their medal ceremonies tonight. Great experience and loved Berlin, as haven't been here since 1973! Going back to a very different check point Charlie tomorrow!
Not only did Salpeter put in a sprint finish 1 lap too early, she was already disqualified for a breakline violation in the first half a lap. first training session back someone needs to be taught how to run 5,000m

Wow ! Glad you enjoyed your trip !
Every time a major championship ends, I google where the following one will be held, just in case we save enough pennies to attend....I note that the venues for the 2nd of the "new edition" of the European Championships are due to be announced any time soon with London being possibly involved.
I can't believe it was 32 years ago that we took the family to the '86 Games in Stuttgart after the LA Olympics in '84.
We then "left" the kids with their grandparents in '87 when we went to Rome for the World Champs.
There's nothing like actually being at a major event of this kind IMO.

Fantastic to be there, I agree. Keep me posted if you discover the venues. We booked our tickets for this meet during the World Championship last year as prices reduced.
WADA expected to lift sanctions against Russia today.
To recap. Back in 2016, when Russia was discovered to have masterminded the biggest doping scandal of the 21st century, it was decreed that the only way back into competition for this sporting pariah was to comply fully with all the conditions of Wada’s so-called roadmap, which included accepting the findings of the McLaren report into the affair, and granting Wada access to Moscow’s anti-doping laboratory. Neither of these conditions have been met.
So the Russians are to be trusted again? Was it only a few weeks ago that two Russian agents were intercepted en route to the Swiss chemical lab tasked with the old switcheroo trick, albeit with nerve agent rather than urine samples. The Russians it seems have found yet another way to carry on taking the piss

Rare golden night for British sprinting
Dina truly is a lovely person, so happy to see her win

Only Bubka has ever gone higher as far as I know.
