1) Nordas improving by 7 seconds in one year after switching to Ingebrigtsen's dad ...

2) Ingebrigtsen dominating again all season long just for a scottish guy to completely explode at worlds ...

3) Why are most of the top british runners from Scotland? Rather weird given that they only account for a tiny part of the population. I guess Scotland is to GB what Norway is to the other scandinavian countries, something in the food there ...

World Athletics is doing a pathetic job, the website is down every evening, obviously they can't handle the traffic.

They probably don't want to invest in better servers, because they only suffer these traffic spikes once in two years

Have to mention again how impressive the Netherlands are. Not sure if the competitions so far could have gone any worse for them and still they will end with a lot of medals and top 8 finishes. Could very well see them being the best european country at the olympics next year. Van Klinken, Klaver, Laros and some other could all finally break through next year.

Stick your feet in a bucket of ice for the full experience.

nothing important, just some odd fun fact for tonight

Not this again...  Unpopular opinion apparently, but i hate, hate, HATE shared medals. Especially this way.

It is (almost) impossible to have shared golds in most other events (track, triple/long jump, throws), so it is also somewhat unfair.

There have been dead heats but they are very rare.

Another NR for  Laros!! Really showed himself at the very highest level, just needed 50m meters in his sprint (a common theme for the Dutch this week).

He was 3rd according to US TV announcers.  (Announcer said the teenager from the Netherlands gets bronze.)

I am sure olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen will cry himself to sleep tonight. Why do you keep trying to talk something into existance? Almost seems pathological.

Have rewatched it & Ingebritsen did not congratulate Kerr at any point after the race. Extremely bad sportsmanship.
