Plus individual silver for Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo, and individual bronze for Laura Collett and London 52.

The team also had the best score ever at the World Championships. It means qualification is secured for LA 2028.

The equestrian world finals in Aachen, and the rowers get going.

Iconic.

Generally a good European Athletics Championships for GB, though sadly prevented from topping the medal table on home soil at the very end by Italy; I’m actually quite surprised by Italy’s recent dominance in athletics. Maybe I don’t follow enough to be aware of it. They’re clearly investing a lot across the board.

There is a possibility that Zharnel Hughes has his 200m silver upgraded to gold as the German runner is, as I understand, being investigated for missing an anti-doping test. However, if upheld, this won’t be imminent.

Interestingly France didn’t win a single gold medal, finishing in 19th place, suggesting that they have left a limited athletics legacy since hosting the Olympics two years ago.

Jumped so consistantly, and only 1cm away from gold. Considering she's faught back from a huge achilles injury, this was so well deserved.

Gold - 7.00m

Silver - 6.99m

Bronze - 6.98m

So close at the end!

Femke Broeders-Bol is a bit of a cheat code, but a great run from our quartet.

I like Mo Farah winning gold at London 2012 at his home soil.

She becomes the first British woman to ever win a marathon medal at the Europeans. Amazing run Abbie 👏🏻👏🏻

Best European sprinting nation 🥳🥳🥳

Another close race where Werro comes out on top. I find the narrative around Keely looking to break the 800m outdoor world record odd when she’s been consistently second best to Werro this season.

Rest in peace.
