There should be 2 qualifying rules.
1. You were born in the country you represent
2. You have lived 10 years in the country you represent.
No Grandparents, wives, mothers, etc, and definitely no "we'll give you 100 k to run for us"
Worlds, Olympics fine. Represent who you want.
I'm watching the men's 10k, and Turkey have 3 ex Kenyans running for them?
Until the governing body sort this out, it's a pointless championships.

Also,I'm not happy with the highest ranking being given a bye to the semi-finals.
I remember watching David Bedford, Brendan Foster etc when I was young, now we have to put up with the likes of Tom Daley and a plethora of mincing millennials. At least the womens shorts have got smaller revealing some lovely @rses.

Myself also D.G.I was a regular at the Crystal Palace athletics meeting they held there from mid 70's onwards and saw all the greats of track and field there over the years. They were always a sell out and sometimes the only way to get in was to buy from one of the many ticket touts operating in the car parks.
Now as regards to athletics and this European championship in general I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in watching any of it and I couldn't name any member of the G.B. squad!
Had some great nights there slippy, always loved Track and Field above all other sports.
Could I just clarify, please (Gravy & Slippy): Your main turn-offs from watching athletics these days (ie. European Champs on atm) is that most of the GB team is under 30, plus Tom Daley's a gayer? 
I have been pleasantly surprised how few athletic mercenaries have appeared in these championships.
Perhaps the governing body have got the message.
Only our Anguillan 100m champion has spoilt the party (we would still have got the gold with London born Reece Prescod)

Anguilla is a British overseas territory. Nothing wrong with him running as part of the GB team.
Team GB have won a lot of medals, which is good to see.
GB won the most medals !

Indeed.
I'm also pleasantly surprised that more Pretendy Women haven't got in on the racket of running in the Women's events. One to watch for I suspect, as Europe is in the throes of gender self-identification madness.

A Kenyan running for Israel in the European Championships.
The God of the Euros had a hand in that.

she can expect a visit from mossadd during the night, 
must be a certainty in 2 years time only needs to improve her counting from 12 to 13, but might be to old for the 10,000 before she learns to count to 27

Indeed. Some of them are worthy of Olympians. Let's hope they all qualify for 2020.

Poland particularly strong in that department if their female sprinters are anything to go by.
A plea to UK Athletics please get Laura Weightman on your asthma programme it's painful viewing (like Paula the anaemic,asthma sufferer was before she was remedied) and will be painful for her the girl's all heart but every time she's appeared on local news it's been arduous at both ends.
I couldn't help noticing the number of young black athletes with double barrelled names.
double barrelled names also in football,looks like it will become quite common.
Its common on the dodgy council estates in every major city, dat is wot dey do now innit.
