The day was dominated by Italy's double gold in the race walking marathon at the European Athletics Championships, with Massimo Stano and Sofia Fiorini winning, the latter setting a world record. The story led all outlets from mid-morning, overshadowing the Indonesian earthquake that had dominated earlier headlines, with at least 47 dead and 500 Italian tourists stranded. The Ceuta border crisis also featured prominently, with Morocco using tear gas to disperse migrants. In the evening, swimming and athletics continued to bring medals, including Martinenghi's gold and Diaz's triple jump record, keeping sports at the top of the agenda.
