Plenty of Scots in sporting action this weekend, with a focus on the stars of the future as they compete in European Age Group Championships. Here are just three events to look out for:

Athletics

The next generation of stars are in action at the European U23 Championships in Tallin, Estonia where five young Scots are looking to make their mark. On the opening day Alisha Rees made the semi-finals of the 100m and now gets ready for the 4x100m Relay, while David Melville contested the 10,000m final and Sarah Tait made it safely through to Saturday’s Steeplechase final.   Day 2 (Friday 9 July)  has begun with Erin Wallace through to the 1500m final with Georgina Adam set for the 200m heats later today.

Meanwhile, with the Tokyo Olympics just around the corner, Laura Muir and Jemma Reekie are on the 800m start list for the Monaco Diamond League on Friday 9 July. Initially selected for both 800m and 1500m for Tokyo, Muir has decided to concentrate on the longer distance there.

How to watch: The European U23 Championships continues until Sunday 11 July with action from 09:45 to 21:00 each day. A livestream of all events can be found here: European Athletics (european-athletics.com)
