+ Duplantis in pole vault qualifying

Pole vaulter Armand Duplantis has won all competitions since last summer and with a good margin too. He hopes to be able to clear the qualification quickly and easily with just a few or a few jumps. The world record holder is not thrilled with the early start time (10.18), but says he will still be focused.

+ Sprint promise in best event

Julia Henriksson has just cleared the 100 metres in EM (semi-final) and now it's time for the attempt and possible semi-final in her best event 200 metres. She is now just seven hundredths of a second from Linda Haglund's Swedish record from 1979. Henriksson's new personal record, 22.89, was set in the EM heats in Stockholm a week ago.

+ Swedish surprise in final after chaos

Erik Erlandsson has surprised himself all the way to the final of 200 metres. But the final place was taken from him twice before it was decided to expand the start field to nine. Erlandsson and Czech Tomas Nemejc both had the eighth time in the semi-final.
