We are OK here -  - it’s even on poor peoples’ TV this week, so even beggars in rags can watch it.

Believe every Diamond League event is on the BBC for the next few years so it's very accessible for UK viewers.

Yeah, they all are, but most will be shuffled off to online or Red Button.  BBC2 is a rare treat nowadays.

They started putting them on 3 and 4 last year as soon as they started at 7 as opposed to just online and red button, depending on what time they start of course.  I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same this year, especially if they want to get viewing figures up on 3 and prove bringing it back as a channel was the right decision.

70.70 from Ceh in round five, also beats Daniel's record here from four years ago

Čeh gets robbed of his win in spite of throwing a WL.  
 

Ah no, forgot they had gone back into sensible mode last year.
