Looks like that training camp last week in Šamorín center helped De Grasse a bit, at least it is what he said to our TV reporter yesterday, but yeah it could also be just a polite remark

For sure it must have helped.

Greg Rutherford is basically saying Britain does not have good grass-root athletics and there is not even enough world class junior British Athletes coming through.

 

Seb Coe has sort of confirmed that DSD athletes will in time be banned from the 200m. Through what happens if one of them breaks the WR before that time.

Disorder of sexual development. Crudely what people usually refer to as being "intersex".

Also very happy Lyles got a medal, he's one of my favourite sprinter. If it wasn't going to be de Grasse I would have wanted him to win.
