[JonPhi 250]

Asha Philip is out of the 100m due to a positive Covid test. She may still be able to compete in the relay. She will be replaced by Ashleigh Nelson, who already won bronze in the 100m in Zurich 2014.

Well, we can already spot one big difference between athletics held in Britain and athletics held anywhere else.

DQF in the Decathlon 100m?  Germans judges let  Abele off!

Very messy 100m run in decathlon having to go 3 times, yet no disqualification for host athlete?

Sparse crowds. Qual sessions in Birmingham were 80% full.  
 

Mayer injured!

[Vektor 3,326]

That's going to be a very short ECh for Mayer.

Agree, atmosphere in Birmingham was truly amazing and I was lucky to attend many sessions, on the other hand it's definately not just Britain that attracts full crowds to athletics events.

Tbf Munich is a stupidly bad stadium for almost anything. Too big for both athletics & football.
