Fairly insane evening last night in North America's Cheboksary, with Thompson-Herah getting very close to nucleair FloJo's WR being the most, let's say, interesting moment  

 

Nice to see Kambundji beat everyone in the 200

The thought of Thomson - Herah testing positive must be Coe’s worse nightmare. Athletics popularity is already pretty damaged - lots of top doping scandals could finish the sport off financially.

Busy weekend with Lausanne tomorrow & Paris on Saturday.  Lausanne preview & timetable.  Crazily the Warholm flat 400m will be before the main TV broadcast starts.

Great to see things are pretty much normal in , big crowds, no masks…

 

Warholm in the 400m….deserves his place in the  relay team, shall we say.

Bad night for Duplantis in windy conditions, 5.62 is all he can do.

Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce gets a big PB 10.60!

 

Femke Bol gets a few  scalps, 53.06!

 

NR for  in the women’s 4x100!

Ernest Obieno gets a  NR at 5.91 in the Pole Vault & surely the best ever international athletics performance for SE Asia.

And he’s just a centimeter short of tying the Asian record in the event!
