    just back from an exhausting but very enjoyable weekend of juvenile athletics in Tullamore. Seeing your daughter win her first national title at her first attempt sends a flurry of emotions pumping through a very proud father and reigniting a passion for our great sport of athletics. :D:D:D:D:D:D

    But getting back to the euro daft, cant belive were almost completed round 2, will have to give it some thought as some excellent athletes chosen already. :confused:

    I'll try for Anastasiya Kadachinskaya (RUS) in the 400m

    What happens if the athlete picked does not compete in the euros? (not chosen by their Federation) :confused:

    There is a transfer stage after all selections have been made in which athletes can be subbed out due to injury/ no selected. This will take place the week of the start of the championships to give people a fair chance to make these changes

    I propose a lifetime ban from the forum if an athlete picked by that user tests positive.
