I don’t think the spectators in Lausanne understand how to practice “social distancing“

Well, neither do the ones along the route of the Tour De France from what I’ve seen, so it’s par for the course.

6.07 for Duplantis

I'm not reading posts because of spoilers, but I tried to watch the Lausanne DL and the channel that normally shows DL has nothing. Was it even held, or was it only pole vault in the city somewhere and no other events? Because I do find a Kendricks vs Duplantis video on Youtube which I'm watching now

It's only Pole Vault. That's the whole meeting.

Sadly no one expected for event to got so late in the evening, Duplantis would probably already today broke Bubka's record, if there would be still daylight.

Cool with swedish win in both womens and mens competition!

 

Too bad they didn´t think abot the light, the darkness might have stopped a world record yesterday.

 

About the number of people I am not surprised after seing swiss people post pictures from night clubs last months but it seems many nations are now opening up anything as long as they are protecting their mouth which they in many cases are not good at. I have not supported every part of the swedish strategy but seems that trategy might more consistent at least.

We are off in Brussels.

 

Women’s Hour Record up first.  They are up on the record at 53.

 

Smurfs are observing mask discipline.

 

Hassan wins, utterly ridiculous that the lapped runners did not get out her way.  Send them home on the bus!

 

Nafi Thiam a no-show in BRU - injury. 
 

Kipyegon misses the Women’s 1K WR.

 

After 20mins Farah is not really imposing himself on the WR.

 

Duplantis going for 6.15 - not far off first time.

 

Farah still falling off after 40mins, will need a big last 800m.

 

Duplantis XXX

 

Oho Farah moves ahead again.

 

well up now, but still has to beat Abdi who is getting a free ride.

 

Well done Mo, got the WR in the end.  Suspect he won’t have it long if the other big names chase it.

Diamond league is usually bad on tv productions But this was the worst I have seen. Do they want to destroy the interest for athletics?
