<h2>European Athletics Team Championships</h2>
<p>Italy were crowned champions at the European Athletics Team Championships for the first time in Silesia ahead of reigning champions and hosts Poland and four-time winners Germany.</p>
<p>In a new-look format for the event, all three divisions were held under one roof in the same location across six days as part of the third edition of the European Games in Krakow-Małopolska.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ireland were the first champions to be anointed in the 3rd Division where Albania's Luiza Gega also created history by becoming the joint most successful athlete in European Athletics Team Championships history, her wins in the 5000m and 3000m steeplechase taking her tally up to 11 victories.</p>
<p>Hungary dominated the 2nd Division, winning the title ahead of Ukraine and Lithuania who pipped Slovenia for the third promotion spot by an agonising 0.5 points. Both Hungary and Lithuania will be making their debuts in the top division of the European Athletics Team Championships in 2025.</p>
<p>In the main spectacle which occupied the last three days of the championships, Italy improved on their runner-up finish from two years ago with a dominant victory. The Italians won seven of the 37 events and tallied a score of 426.5 points ahead of Poland (402.5 points) and Germany (387.5. points) with Spain fourth with 352 points.</p>
<p>At the other end of the table, Norway, T&uuml;rkiye and Belgium occupied the last three places and were relegated into the 2nd Division in 2025. &nbsp;The Belgian team were relegated despite the best efforts of shot putter-turned hurdler Jolien Boumkwo who garnered worldwide admiration and attention after stepping in as a last minute replacement for the injured Anne Zagre in the 100m hurdles.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Individual highlights across the six days included Femke Bol from the newly promoted Netherlands winning the 400m in 49.82 to smash her championship record of 50.37 and Slovenia's Kristjan Ceh winning the discus in the 2nd Division with 69.94m to break the championship record held by his coach Gerd Kanter.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 2025 edition of the European Athletics Team Championships 1st Division will be held in Madrid, Spain from 27-29 June.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With a strong close, Italy&rsquo;s Edoardo Scotti was the first lead off runner to pass the baton after a powerful leg timed at 44.8 while Poland&rsquo;s Maksymilian Szwed (45.2) and Great Britain&rsquo;s Samuel Reardon (45.3) travelled in hot pursuit.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Boosted by her pole position Virginia Troiani, a 51.06 specialist, posted a fantastic second leg in 49.8 to extend the Italian&rsquo;s lead to a full second over Poland (1:34.6 vs 1:35.6) with Spain (1:36.0) in third thanks to Blanca Herv&aacute;s&rsquo; 50.1 brisk leg.&nbsp;</p>
<p>By then, Great Britain&rsquo;s travelled in fourth (1:36.2) but an awesome leg of 43.6 signed by the Paris 2024 Olympic Games 4x400 bronze medallist Toby Harries put the Britons in contention barely two hundreds behind Italy at the bell (2:19.6/2:19.8) while Spain ran in third in 2.20.4 for Poland&rsquo;s 2.20.7.</p>

<p>The anchor leg proved to be full of excitement and drama as Great Britain&rsquo;s Emily Newnham passed Italy&rsquo;s Alice Mangione with 250m left and Poland&rsquo;s reigning European champion Natalia Bukowiecka overtook Spain&rsquo;s Paula Sevilla with impressive ease to rapidly close the gap with Great Britain and Italy.</p>

Mixed relay specialists Poland win again at Madrid 2025

<p><strong>European U20 champions on track and cross country Niels Laros won a stacked men&rsquo;s 5000m at Madrid 2025 on Sunday (29). The 20-year-old got his tactics spot on to beat an experienced field.&nbsp;</strong></p>

</ul>
<p>The opening three kilometres were covered in 2:50.33, 5:40.44 and 8:28.96 respectively; by then Poland&rsquo;s Kamil Herzyk ran at the helm closely followed by the German 3000m steeplechase specialist Frederik Ruppert.</p>
<p>Switzerland&rsquo;s European 10,000m champion Dominic Lobalu and Spain&rsquo;s Thierry Ndikumwenayo, bronze medallist on that occasion, while a relaxed Laros remained in the middle of the pack.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With four laps remaining, the Spaniard moved to the front to heat up the pace, the fourth kilometre taking a quicker 2:44.23.</p>
<p>In his quest to take back-to-back titles as he had won two years ago in Silesia, the 28-year-old Spaniard gradually stepped up the rhythm to reach the bell at the front but the 20-year-old Laros, a 3:29.54 1500m man, travelled in close attendance just ahead of Lobalu.</p>
<p>The closing lap became a thriller as Ndikumwenayo produced a powerful change of speed and he led by the backstraight a couple of metres clear of Laros.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before the last bend it seemed that the Spaniard would be able to romp home as a winner but the fast-finishing Laros managed to catch him entering the home straight to be a clear winner courtesy of a 52.31 final 400m.</p>
<p>Lobalu surged forward to pip Ndikumwenayo by 0.01 to finish second in 13:45.37.</p>
<h2>Finn wins steeplechase thriller</h2>
<p>A pedestrian opening to the women&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase gave way to a thrilling finish. In searing conditions, the pack covered the first kilometre in 3:20.44. The second kilometre saw now improvement as the moved serenely through at 6:44.70 headed by Spain&rsquo;s Marta Serrano.&nbsp;</p>
<p>By the final lap, Serrano, Great Britain&rsquo;s Sarah Tait, France&rsquo;s Flavie Renouard, Poland&rsquo;s Kinga Kr&oacute;lik , Finland&rsquo;s European U20 gold medallist Ilona Mononen were all still in contention. Krolin made the first move and burst to the front, Tait responded quickest and reeled her in to lead at the water jump.</p>
<p>Tait kicked clear into closing straight as the rest jostled for position. Behind Tait, all four cleared the final barrier simultaneously and Mononen came off quickest.</p>
<p>Encouraged by that, the 21-year-old Finn suddenly began to eat into Tait&rsquo;s five metre lead and just caught her at the finish clocking 9:49.21 to win by 0.03. Krolin was third in 9:49.80, Serrano fourth in 9:50.08 and Renouard fifth in 9:50.83.&nbsp;</p>

Youngsters Laros and Mononen win thrilling distance races at Madrid 2025

<p><strong>European indoor champion Agathe Guillemot gave France maximum points in the women&rsquo;s 1500m at Madrid 2025 on Sunday (29).</strong></p>

</ul>
<p>The 25-year-old lived up to the expectations as she was the quickest entrant. Held under extreme weather conditions of 38&ordm; C, the race opened at a pedestrian pace, the first 400m being covered in 1:12.43 with Poland&rsquo;s Klaudia Kazimierska at the helm and Guillemot plus Italy&rsquo;s Marta Zenoni closest to her.</p>
<p>Shortly afterwards, it was Sweden&rsquo;s Vera Sj&ouml;berg who moved to the front to inject a brisker cadence to reach the 800m mark in 2:18.26.&nbsp;</p>
<p>By the bell Portugal&rsquo;s Salome Afonso and Guillemot led and the French athlete made her move on the backstraight trying to break away from the Portugese runner, who also competed on Saturday in the 800m.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Afonso covered Guillemot&rsquo;s change of speed and even tried unsuccessfully to overtake the French before the last bend, the Portuguese being forced to run the last bend on the outside virtually even with Guillemot.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The closing 100m became a thriller as the French was never headed by Afonso, who never gave up and pushed her rival until the finish line. Guillemot finally prevailing in 4:08.72 following a brisk 45.54 closing 300m for Afonso&rsquo;s 4:09.01 while Great Britain&rsquo;s fast finishing Revee Walcott-Nolan finished third 0.15 behind Alfonso.</p>
<h2>Nadar takes men's 1500m in duel with Nillessen</h2>
<p>European indoor 1500m bronze medallist Isaac Nader was a convincing winner in the men&rsquo;s event. The race kicked-off at a very slow pace and soon Sweden&rsquo;s Emil Danielsson grew impatient to take the lead and accelerate the speed; even so the opening 400m were covered in 1:02.27.</p>
<p>Shortly before the 800m mark, which was reached in 2:03.17 the hot favourites &ndash; sub 3:30 men - Nader and Stefan Nillessen took the lead and the rhythm became increasingly faster as the clock read 3:00.78 by the 1200m mark.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From then on, it was a two-horse battle as Nillessen entered the last 200m at the helm, but Nader ran just inches behind him and he tried to overtake the Dutch runner over the last bend.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nillessen managed to enter the closing 100m in the lead but, despite having to run wide the last bend, the Spain-based Nader found another gear in the home straight to romp home clearly. &nbsp;</p>
<p>He crossed the finish in 3:39.08, with second placed Nillessen clocking 3:39.97, courtesy of a brisk 38.30 in the closing 300m. Nillessen held off the late challenge of Poland&rsquo;s Filip Rak, who was 0.17 behind.</p>

<p>The 31-year-old killed the contest thanks to a 85.15m toss in the opening round, over 10m further than his closest chaser Lithuania&rsquo;s Edis Matusevicius, author of a 74.76m toss.</p>
<p>In round two, the 2022 European champion unleashed another powerful 84.69m release while Spain&rsquo;s Manuel Quijera and Portugal&rsquo;s 2021 European U23 silver medallist Leandro Ramos lifted to second and third thanks to a respective 77.26m and 77.08m heaves.</p>
<p>But Matusevicius bounced back in the third round to regain the runner-spot following a 78.26m throw, a season&rsquo;s best for the Lithuanian on the eve of his 29th birthday.</p>
<p>After a third effort measured in 74.14m Weber decided to leave the competition having secured the 16 points for Germany and the attention turned to the fierce fight for the following places.</p>
<p>Ukraine&rsquo;s Silesia 2023 second-place finisher Artur Felfner managed a season&rsquo;s best of 80.54m in round five to secure the second spot over two metres ahead of Matusevicius&rsquo; 78.26m as the Lithuanian, the Spaniard and the Portuguese could not go beyond their previous efforts in the second half of the contest.</p>

<p>With Ukraine battling relegation from the 1st Division, Mahuchikh&rsquo;s contribution was critical, and she was typically assured as she sailed over 1.91m and 1.94m. But she ran into difficulties at 1.97m, in which she needed three attempts.</p>
<p>Poland&rsquo;s Maria Zodzik also cleared 1.97m at the third attempt, leaving the duo to fight out first place. But Mahuchikh showed her class with a first time clearance over 2.00m, a height that was 2cm above Zodzik&rsquo;s lifetime best and also beyond her on this occasion.&nbsp;</p>

Apeldoorn is one of the greenest cities in the Netherlands and among the largest municipalities in Gelderland. It is a mid-size city with a population of approximately 161,000. Apeldoorn has a charming and lively inner city and a young, sports-minded population.

The town is easily accessible by car (A1 motorway) and train. The proximity of large cities such as Utrecht (59 kilometre) and Amsterdam (75 kilometre) and its space and tranquillity make Apeldoorn one of the most popular cities in the Netherlands. The area mainly consists of woods and heath-lands and is a popular destination for tourism, in particular hiking and cycling.

The Dutch royal family has always had close ties with the city. Apeldoorn is home to the stately Loo Palace, the former summer residence of the Dutch royal family and nowadays a national museum. Apeldoorn is possibly the most athletic-minded city in the Netherlands.
