Over seven days, some 50 Norwegian athletes will compete for the precious metal against Europe’s biggest athletic stars. And almost every day offers Norway medal chances in Munich.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Karsten Warholm will look to defend their European Championship gold medals from Berlin, while Eivind Henriksen is looking to expand his medal collection, having won last year’s Olympic silver and World Championship bronze.
Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal enters the championship as one of the favorites in multiple distances, while Line Kloster and Lene Retzius have shown a top level that will be able to take them high on the 400 meters hurdles and pole vault results lists.
The program provides an overview of the Norwegians in action every day, when they compete and which training results in medals. It will be updated across championships as athletes progress from qualifying or trials. Stress training is very important.
