@CitiusMag @GrandSlamTrack “We are listening to our key stakeholders” : our starting idea was bad and we are not the revolution for athletics so let’s progressively get closer to what has been done for years.

@ten7events Any chance, you can add the single event PBs for the olympics instead of „just“ their best dec or hep?
Thanks for the great work!

"Exceptional changes had to be allowed to the final entries for the European Athletics Championships."

Update on the final entries for #Roma2024.

[Gabby Pieraccini @smokymozzarella]

And, to their credit, European Athletics have corrected the inconsistency in their approach to special treatment for individual athletes/Federations. That’s not always an easy thing to do.

Thanks for all the messages of support and amplification of the athletes’ position.

[SwissTrackCheck @CheckSwiss]

Let‘s just hope they do the right thing…

[Decathletes of Europe @DecathletesOfEu]

The French distance runners who were affected by the FFA’s mistake have now been selected…and now we wait to see the outcome for the combined eventers…

[Decathletes of Europe @DecathletesOfEu]

Here’s a reminder of the issue. The individual decisions are not the problem (although frustrating) - the issue is the inconsistency of @EuroAthletics in applying the rules

Special treatment possible for French (Mayer)
Special treatment not possible for heps penalised by French
