2026 European Championships

Amy Hunt qualified fastest for the 100m final in 10.99 (and looked happy on seeing another sub-11!). Usual mediocre start but came powering through in the second half. Final in about an hour.
 
Jakob Ingebrigtsen comes through on the home stretch to win the 5000m, despite just returning from surgery. One of the truly great middle/long distance runners of all time.
 
Amy Hunt wins! 11.00 dead. Svoboda second in 11.02. I was sure Amy would win after 30 metres: she wasn't far behind, and her top end speed brought her through.

So happy that Amy Hunt didn't up like Charlie Dobson. Early in her career she struggled to stay healthy but at 24 now is really looking
outstanding. I love to see it. Happy for Swoboda but she must be sad as she has won the silver medal in big races a few times now. She should still be proud as she put Polish Sprinting on the Map. Sad for Geraldine de Tizio Frey who missed bronze by 1/100th of a second. Our ladies just missed the sweep but still took 3 of the top 4. Also they took 4 of the fastest 6 sprinters. Long Live Europe!
 
I hope van der weken takes a break now as she races far too much each season. At least this time Dina Asher Smith didn't avoid Hunt after the race unlike in the semis, she comes across as a very jealous person..
