Currently out in Minsk for the 2nd European Games. Thought I would attempt a thread like I did with the rowing last year with some highlights from each day. Don't be surprised if I give up halfway through!
Here with Team Ireland, but also picking up anything else as sales through Getty in places like Armenia help to pay for my crippling addiction.... tea.
Getting around on the event transport buses is both easy and hard, easy in that it's simple to do, but hard in that it takes ages. So I have taken to local Uber type taxis. I'm get to be killed. Other then that, the city is great, very clean and open, and the weather has been on our side so far... just need it to be on the other side now to help even up the tan!
Athletics was an interesting one last night on Day 3. They have a new system called Dynamic New Athletics (DNA) in which countries play as a team against each other in a middle group, with point from each event adding to the country's total. Then, after the last event there is The Hunt - Mixed Medley Relay race where your team starts depending on their points total. First placed points goes off first, then second placed points next depending on points gap - 4 points I think was then 4 seconds. They run 800m, hand over to 600m, then 400 and finally 200m. Made for a great finish, as you'll see in No.9.
