@TimAdams76 subscribed to Eurosport few years ago, just for athletics, huge waste of money, <5 hours content p/m

Best option for athletics fans; get a VPN!
Cost around £70 p/yr (maybe even cheaper)
If there’s a stream somewhere in the 🌎, u can watch.

A joke giving Viaplay the rights tho.

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

@James_Athletics Is it James West’s first major champs too?

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

@GreenlandTweet Who were the 3?

Only McKinna has QM or ranking position, but that was 12m ago & not near 🅱️ standard in 2023 (yet).

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

Well done to all those selected.

No real surprises.

Haydock not in 400 but didn’t run final at trials, hope all ok.

Lucy H is unlucky not to get an invite in LJ, despite being #7 in Eu in 2023.

Ready to cheer everyone on in just 8 days. 📣

@jdevivenot Hopefully we see more in the outdoors.

Banigo was closest. He had an invite spot but BA withdrew it as he was just 6cm shy of 🅱️standard.

Would like to see some lee-way in future for field events. Better than sending 0️⃣. Need experience.

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

@egansadventures Prime example 🚺LJ.
Lucy H 🇬🇧 currently #7 in Eu (SB) but only #25 in rankings??

18 Places, 9 going to rankings

7/9 in ranking spot haven’t jumped as far

Lucy 2 best - 6.66/6.56 🇬🇧
Other 7 in 2023:

6.61 /6.56
6.33 /6.35
6.35 /6.39
6.52 /6.49
6.52 /6.41
6.46 /6.40

Entries for Indoor Tour (Brum) on Saturday

https://t.co/RzlrZstSEq

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

A couple of questions for 🚺

400: Pipi & Nielsen don’t have 🅱️ but maybe going 4x4 anyway. Could get accepted?

1500 - 4 still in EA lists including Muir & Reekie. Snowden & Baker will go, maybe one of other 2? Depends on Muir’s intentions? (Reekie withdrawn from 800 tho)

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

UKA have been busy withdrawing athletes from Euro ranking/invite lists.

Gone are Pozzi & Banigo.most field & 800’s the same (bar Guy in 800)

I’m intrigued why Josh Kerr still on the list. Could he take 3rd 1500 spot?

Alex HW also still there (QT) & Brier 📬?

All 60m men too

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

looks like 8🚹 & 11🚺 to be chosen in individuals for Istanbul 🇹🇷

4 other possibles for 🚹 team (ranking not withdrawn):

Brier: likely 4x4 anyway, await 📬?

Rowe: DQ at trials, but has 🅱️ & still 📬
Perrin🥈but no 🅱️ & outside 📬

Kerr (1500): would be a surprise.

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

Some amazing distance races at 🇬🇧 indoors today.

But at 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿age champs I’m very proud of 2 @springburnharrs juniors who continue to push their limits

Congrats to U13’s;
Gregor (800🥈2:20.65 - leaps above Josh Kerr on AT list)
& Willow (1500🥉5:21.54)

Smashed PB’s by 6 & 10secs

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

@TumoLPK BA policy is athletes need the Euro Q or BA 🅱️ standard in the last 7 weeks. Even if athletes have Q in 2022, they won’t meet BA selection criteria.

That’s my interpretation anyway. Maybe there’s small print?

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

Caught up ⏩ 🇬🇧 Champs. Some fine performances but spare a thought for those with Eu Q but BA will reject

Sember - EuQ✅ +🇬🇧🥇(on WA rank points Cindy= #1 in Eu) no ‘23🅱️

Rees (60) - Eu📬&🇬🇧🥉but 0.03 off 🅱️

Banigo (LJ) - Eu📬&🇬🇧🥇,but 6cm off 🅱️

Pozzi - EuQ✅ 🇬🇧🥈, no ‘23🅱️

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

Great run by David King today for 60H🥇in 7.62, only 0.05s off PB. Looking good for EIC.

That’s not a SR as results suggest tho.
Colin Jackson ran 7.38 in same stadium in ‘94. Not forgetting Pozzi ran 7.46 for 🌍🥇in 2018??

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

Looking forward to the 🚹 400m final tomorrow at 16:15.

6 strong runners & would would make a decent 4x4 team in Instanbul 🇹🇷

This will either be v fast with handful of PB’s, or a bonkers race with 3 DQ’s /falls.

[Track Stanley 🜃 @MattVanStan]

Some fantastic races all round from the young 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 athletes today. Amazing work going on at clubs.

@GuyLearmonth @James_Athletics Looked a lot harder than my sesh. I was very impressed how u could peel yourself off the floor to smash a few more out

Happy to help but I think my 36” may have been a tad slow 🐢
