From where Healy got the baton that’s an amazing result. Sharlene did some job on Bol and holding off the others behind her.

What a fucking championships

Sharlene ran race of her life there.

Great performance

France had one running in a peak cap and another one with a set of bottle washers on her :laughing:

Bol ran over 50 seconds and the 6th fastest final leg. She was just doing the bare minimum and was never going to be caught if headed.

She may be from Tipp, but Charlene, what a woman.

Couldn’t have done any more, to be fair. A great run by all of them, particularly by Healy although she tied up a little in the last 50m. Sharlene has put in some shift in these championships, gave her all as usual.

Silver it is, as predicted.

Delighted for them all. A European track and field silver medal is a super super achievement.

That last leg is as fine a run as you’ll see. Pressure was on. 5 races. Could easily have blown up.

Delighted for Phil especially, she’s been around a long long time and has had her share of heartbreaks (athletically speaking),

Bol really only went through the motions, but to hold off the other two was wonderful from Mawdesley

Bit of a creepy statement there from Rob

That was some run by the whole team, especially sharlene. She was actually closing on bol, which is incredible.
Thought she might be under pressure to finish in top 3.
