Wow, incredible, there are actually dolphins swimming on the swimming course in the harbour! Dunno what their running & cycling is like though!

You really have a deep problem with the country south of your coasts. Maybe you should start seeing someone or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Maciel 1,336 Posted July 30, 2023 #26 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Barclay Izzard finally records a decent individual result in a WTCS event! (Even if it is probably one of the weakest lineups we've seen in a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,336 Posted July 30, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Was a bit surprised at the pretty poor turnout from athletes for the Sunderland leg of WTCS but it looks like Yee, Brownlee, GTB, Potter and Coldwell will all be looking to secure their qualification for Paris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barclay Izzards 8th will come as a pleasant surprise to selectors, and the relay result today was spectacularly unexpected. If GTB gets back to health, GBR can give the French a run for their money. If not, the French will walk out. Interesting that the next female Brit off the rank, Kate Waugh, has made a great start to her career, yet the cupboard remains bare for the men...
