Another thing I need to watch! This part of the year is so busy, with the Commonwealth Games just finishing and the cycling and aquatics championships happening at the same time!

This is part of the European Championships https://www.munich2022.com/en/sports covered by Eurovision TV it seems.

It was an exciting finish to the men's marathon with the German sprinting past the leader just before the finish line.

Filip Mihaljevic is crowned European shot put champion and improves to 21.88m with his sixth and final throw!

Yasemin Can wins gold for Turkey with an incredible kick in the 10,000m, clocking 30:32.57 🔥🇹🇷

 

It's silver for Eilish McColgan (30:41.05) as she beats Israel's Lonah Chemtai Salpeter (30:46.37) to second place.

That was a stunning run by Can

 

Eilish with a great second. Gutted for Judd and to see her struggle/require medical attention at the end

Not nice to see Jessica Judd and quite a few require medical attention. What a few weeks this has been for Eilish.

Asha Philip has been ruled out of the women's 100m at the European Championships in Munich after testing positive for Covid-19.

 

Philip, 31, made it through to the semi-final of the 100m at the recent Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

 

Ashleigh Nelson will take Philip's place in the individual 100m,

Britain's Laura Muir began the defence of her European 1500m title in style as she breezed into Friday's final on a sweltering morning in Munich.

 

The 28-year-old, defending the title she won in Berlin in 2018, finished in four minutes 6.41 seconds to win her heat as temperatures neared 30C.

Another false start for a long-distance race (men's 5000m).

It was good to see Eilish McColgan get a medal yesterday - and she's only just done the Commonwealth Games, she must be tired now!

Matt Hudson-Smith successfully defended his men's 400m title at the European Championships as team-mate Alex Haydock-Wilson claimed the bronze in Munich.

 

Hudson-Smith moved away from the field in the final 100m to ensure he completed his set of three major medals this summer with gold in 44.53 seconds.

 

The 27-year-old won world bronze in Eugene in July and claimed Commonwealth Games silver in Birmingham 10 days ago.

 

Haydock-Wilson, 23, clocked 45.17.

Beth Dobbin false start in the 200m, oh dear.

That was a brilliant final

It most certainly was, a fantastic run from Hudson-Smith and from Haydock-Wilson.

 

 

Great to see Jake Heyward getting a silver in the 1500! He was never going to beat Ingebritsen but good that he kept his cool when the rest of the field were over-exerting themselves trying to keep up with Jakob.

Dina Asher-Smith had to settle for silver after Switzerland's Mujinga Kambundji proved too strong in the European Championships 200m final.

 

Kambundji edged into a slight lead with 80m to go and, although Asher-Smith seemed poised to counter, the defending champion could not reel in her rival.

 

The Swiss athlete finished in 22.32 seconds, 0.11secs ahead of Asher-Smith.

 

 

Fantastic to see Laura Muir retain her 1500m European title and a 1-2 in the men's 200m for Hughes and Mitchell-Blake.

 

 

Ten years ago, Lawrence Okoye reached the Olympic final, he then quit athletics in the discus in 2013 for a career in American Football to try and get to the NFL which unfortunately didn't work out, he returned to athletics in 2019 and three years on becomes the first Brit to win a medal in the discus at the European Athletics Championships.

Keely Hodgkinson qualified for the women's 800m final at the European Championships as Great Britain's relay teams all safely progressed in Munich.

It is a second European title for Olympic, World and Commonwealth Games silver medallist Hodgkinson, who won indoor 800m gold as a teenager in 2021.

 

Britain's men's 4x400m relay team also won gold while the women took bronze.

 

Alex Haydock-Wilson held on under pressure from France and Germany following legs by 400m champion Matt Hudson-Smith, Charles Dobson and Lewis Davey, as the men's quartet triumphed in 2:59.35.

 

The women's team - Victoria Ohuruogu, Ama Pipi, Jodie Williams and Nicole Yeargin - finished behind the Netherlands and Poland to make the podium.
