The Europeans Review Show

We’ve just wrapped up a European Championships week at Blenheim that will be remembered for a long time. Laura Collett and London 52 are the new European Champions, Michi Jung and fischerChipmunk FRH added another silver to their record, and Tom McEwen with JL Dublin delivered for Britain with individual bronze. Germany took team gold on British soil, Ireland claimed their first European team medal in 30 years, and Switzerland, Austria, and others proved they belong right in the fight.

Nicole is joined by Diarm and Catherine to unpack it all: the highs, the heartbreaks, the moments that swung the championships, and why this year felt like a changing of the guard.
