European Championships 2022 – live ticker from Thursday, August 18th, 2022

11:06

Pole vault (M): Who will make it to the final?

The pole vault qualification has been running for a few minutes. The required qualifying height here is 5.80 meters. If no 12 athletes make this height, the 12 best athletes will advance to the final. With Torben Blech, Bo Kanda Lita Baehre and Oleg Zernikel, there are three Germans in Group B.

11:00 a.m

Beach volleyball (F): bitter end!

Cheers from the Italians, sad faces from Cinja Tillmann and Svenja Müller. The two Germans lose 1:2 after a great first set! In the last round they lost 15:17 and so there is no German duel with Sude/Borger in the round of 16, who then have to deal with the Italian duo tonight.

10:58

Table tennis (F): false start for winter!

Sabine Winter will now face Romanian Irina Ciobanu in the round of 32. The German has to accept a 7:11 in the first set in the fight for the round of 16 and will now try to fight her way into the match.

10:51

Javelin throw (F): Out for Wipper!

Lea Wipper was able to increase her last throw to 55.07 meters, but that’s not enough for a place in the final. In the end, six throwers from qualifying group B made it through, even if the 61-meter mark was not broken here.

10:47

Canoe (B/M): The next German boats on the water

The 1000 meters in K2 are now up for both women and men. While Julia Hergert and Caroline Arft only reached third place in their heat, Martin Hiller and Tamas Großmann won their heat!

10:41

Beach volleyball (F): German duo wobbles!

After the furious first set with a 21:12, Cinja Tillmann and Svenja Müller had to accept a set loss against the Italian duo. At 19:21, the two Germans lose out and now have to deliver again in the third round.

10:38

Javelin Throw (F): Only slight increase

Lea Wipper could only improve to 53.58 meters in the second throw. There has to be a little more to get into the final. Incidentally, no female thrower in the second qualifying group has so far been able to throw herself directly into the final. World record holder Barbora Spotakova and Europe’s number one Nikola Ogrodnikova still have a little trouble.

10:33

Table Tennis (F): Walkthrough of Han!

What a dominant performance by Ying Han! The German also outclasses her opponent in the fourth set with 11:4 and secures the round of 16 with a very relaxed 4:0 win.

10:30 a.m

Javelin throw (F): The second qualifying group starts

Meanwhile, the second qualifying group has entered the women’s javelin throw competition. Also present is the German Lea Wipper, who only threw 51.5 meters in the first throw. We remember: 61 meters are required for the direct qualification, but otherwise the best 12 athletes are also there when it comes to the medals.

10:28

800 meters (M): It’s over for the Germans

The preliminary heats over the 800 meters for the men did not end well for the two German starters. Christoph Kessler, who was also at the start over the 1500 meters, is last in his heat, Marc Reuther has to lose out in the final sprint and is also out.

10:25

Table tennis (F): preliminary decision?

Ying Han now dominates her opponent at will. The German also grabs the third set with 11:4 and is now leading 3:0. A set win now separates them from the round of 16.

10:17

Beach volleyball (F): Sovereign start!

The German audience on the Königsplatz will be thrilled again. The duo Müller/Tillmann dominated the first set at will and secured the passage at the end with 21:12. It can go on like this!

10:15

Table tennis (F): Set two to Han too!

Ying Han takes a big step towards the round of 16 here! The German can also secure the second set and is already leading 2-0 against the Swede Källberg

10:10

Table tennis (F): Good start!

Ying Han starts the mission “round of 16” optimally. The German secures the first set against the Swede Christina Källberg.

10:09 a.m

Gymnastics (M): all-around final is coming up!

The men’s all-around final is now on! The athletes fight for the medals on the six devices. The gymnasts go to the apparatus in their teams in three different groups. The German team will then be in the second group around 2 p.m.

10:04

Table tennis (F): Han wants to reach the round of 16!

The day also starts with German participation in table tennis. Ying Han faces Christina Källberg in the women’s singles. It’s all about getting into the round of 16!

10:03

Beach volleyball (F): German start

When it comes to beach volleyball, there is a lot on offer on the Königsplatz today. Cinja Tillmann and Svenja Müller, who have to deal with the Italian doubles in the first knockout round, make the start.

09:57

Heptathlon (F): Shepherd invalid again!

Disappointment at Carolin Schäfer. In the end, the German only had 5.82 meters on her account. Sophie Weißenberg, on the other hand, can show 6.35 meters in her last jump and has given away 15 cm at the take-off. The German is making up more ground in the tableau.

09:49

3000 meter obstacle (F): Meyer delivers!

Very strong performance now from Lea Meyer! The German wins her heat over the 3000 meter hurdles and is of course in the final! Elena Burkard can also be happy about reaching the final! As one of the five best times she is there!

09:43

Heptathlon (F): Schäfer still with problems

Of course, Carolin Schäfer would like to break the six meters in the long jump. It doesn’t work in the first jump, and the second is even invalid. Now everything has to work out in the third jump in order to collect important points! Meanwhile, Sophie Weißenberg started with 6.11 meters.

09:37

Heptathlon (F): Long jump opens day two

Yesterday there were four disciplines on the program for the heptathlon, and today another three will follow. The long jump starts. What’s in it for the two Germans Carolin Schäfer and Sophie Weißenberg? It will be very difficult for both of them in the fight for the medals, but a good placement is absolutely within reach for the Germans who are almost tied.

09:36

Canoe (M): Thordsen misses the final for the time being!

In the K1 over the 1000 meters Jakob Thordsen had to admit defeat to the Hungarian Kopasz. Kopasz is safe in the final, Thordsen has to go through the semi-finals.

09:32

3000 meter obstacle (F): Good performance!

Olivia Gürth, 20 years young and thus the second youngest track and field athlete in the German team, was now on the track in the first heat over the 3000 meter obstacle course. In the end it was enough for them to get a good eighth place, which does not entitle them to the final, but was quite satisfactory with an appealing performance.

09:30

Javelin throw (F): Important throw for Fuchs!

It’s possible! Annika Marie Fuchs throws the javelin 59.90 meters in her last throw. So she is not yet sure in the final, but the probability is very high that this distance will be enough. However, Jana Marie Lowka could not improve enough and will probably be eliminated.

09:20

Javelin throw (F): It’s getting tight for the Germans!

The two Germans Annika Marie Fuchs and Jana Marie Lowka still have big problems. Both remain well under 55 meters and will probably not be in the final. The two athletes still have one throw left, but it has to sit.

09:17

Javelin throw (F): Austrian joy!

Cheers to Victoria Hudson! The Austrian doesn’t quite get to 61 meters, but stays just under. That doesn’t mean she’s automatically qualified, but she should definitely be planning on going to the final.

09:13

Javelin Throw (F): Closing time for Jasiunaite

That was to be expected: The Lithuanian Liveta Jasiunaite threw herself into the final on her second attempt. With 61.85 meters, Europe’s number two breaks the qualifying distance.

09:09

Javelin throw (F): The first throws

The throwers have now delivered their first throw. Jana Marie Lowka comes to 52.85 meters, Annika Marie Fuchs is 53.76 meters. This puts both of them at the back of qualifying group A, in which no one has come close to the qualifying distance of 61 meters.

09:01

Canoe (L/F): Let’s go!

On the eighth day of the competition, the canoeists also get on board! The first heats on the Olympic regatta course have just started. The first race with German participation is the men’s K1 over 1000 meters, where Jakob Thordsen will fight for progress.

09:00

Javelin throw (F): The first qualifying group starts!

In a few moments, track and field day will begin with the women’s javelin throw. Here is the quality on the program. Group A includes the two Germans Annika Marie Fuchs and Jana Marie Lowka. Likewise the Lithuanian Liveta Jasiunaite, for her part the European number two. The qualifying distance is 61 meters, if no 12 athletes reach this, the 12 best throwers from both qualifying groups advance

08:42

Packed day!

In addition to athletics, there is a lot on the program today. So in the early morning the canoeists finally intervene in the action. Here are some previews to watch. At 10 a.m. the men’s all-around final starts in gymnastics. Medals are also awarded in sport climbing, but only in the afternoon. In addition, tournaments continue in beach volleyball and table tennis. Balls are smashed over the net all day long in both sports.

What happens in athletics?

The athletics day in the Olympic Stadium brings six decisions today. European champions are wanted in the men’s high jump, hammer throw and 1500m. The women determine the best heptathlete in Europe, and there are also medals in the long jump and over 5,000 meters.
