Oh what, not another v relay duel?

Tbf a gale started blowing so she was caught on a tightrope halfway across the chasm.

Straight fight between v for bronze, just like every year.

Un cauchemar pour Chauveau! Susan Kuelm did not get out of bed this morning expecting to defend a big lead!

Brilliant moment in the Classic Varn- Tobias Hallan Johannessen came over the top of the climb in the lead, started celebrating & freewheeling down to the line, Lenny Martinez put in a sprint & got him!

Couple of legit places. Mountain West have good website & apps on all the majors. https://themw.com/ And Pac 12 has a rolling (just scroll back) 12 Hour stream and a lot of the big teams.

Yeah, have been predicting this ever since Taylor Swift got that Colt .45 for her birthday.

Only man to shoot 20/20 was Aleksandr Starodubets. Now, as with Kapustova a couple of weeks ago, he already has something famous named after him! [OK, obscure slavic joke, but his name literally means "Old Oak Tree."]

Oooh, nasty one. In competition of course there are always volunteers on hand to stop precisely that kind of runaway sled, but I guess not so in practice. Swiss bobsledder Sandro Michel is recovering in hospital after being run over by a sled in training for this weekend's World Cup race in Germany. Michel was lying on the track after being thrown from a four-man sled when it crashed in Altenberg. He was then run over by the sled, which Swiss Sliding said "was uncontrollably sliding back from the finish area".

Hey, Charles Aznavour was Armenian!

The 2 Mile was a rare WR run as a race, not as disco light show.

And a special Jumps meet from

More athletics this week - first up is a Silver meet in Belgrade on YT.
