One other athletics meet this weekend - the Kenyan Nationals from Nairobi. Not just distance racing anymore! https://www.youtube.com/@KenyanAthletics/streams

Good news is that the BBC cover the Athletics tomorrow. I’m sure it will be the same Comms, but the BBC Player is better than the EV one & of course much easier for everyone to get to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/athletics/65904741

Never really watch any of these Park sports winter or summer, but even then you can always tell when a single run is better than the others.

Got to congratulate all the NCAA runners. They have run so many full-on events over the last two months.

Just thought that. If he just left him to crawl 70m on his knees, you’d have been promoted!

First Bulgarian girl makes the classic mistake…..

No can’t happen. The competition finished at 1.97. The 3 2.02 attempts were a free gift to the winner.

No, you lead because of Volko’s 2 Victories to only 1 by Bulgaria.

So a career in Chinese action movies beckons?

Plus just in the right place for the emergency, like Superman!

5000m runner collapses with dehydration! Guy had not finished!

The World Record holder is in the audience if that’s any incentive. Bekh XXX in the LJ.

I think today these are very much improvised teams, not the regular World Cup ones.

That’s “chalks up”.

Detailed stats are here, but I don’t see that particular one yet. Maybe tomorrow they’ll starting putting them out when they become meaningful. https://chorzow23results.european-athletics.com/en/results/athletics/reports.htm Think Čeh, Lavin & Gega are the only candidates so far.

Mishmash is also a word in English, meaning a mixture, usually bad,

Plenty of work for the medics after the steeplechase. Mišmaš can’t get near to Gega’s time from this morning.

Just not able to get any momentum rolling today, so looks like they’re secure in relegation.

200m runner’s muscles goes snap mid-race, has to be rescued.

But not so nice for them to be equal with .

Damn! Missed the 4x100m re-run, but they did 44.21 NR for fourth, so did themselves a favour in the three-way BATTLE of DOOM!

Needs some work on the tattoos also.

But exists!

We got the Women’s BMX Park on ES!

More here. For once the IOC does the right thing. The International Olympic Committee has voted to strip the International Boxing Association of its status as the sport's world governing body. The IOC's executive board recommended the move earlier in June after the IBA failed to meet set reforms following its 2019 suspension over governance issues and alleged corruption. And then, at some time in the near future World Boxing - the heroic band of guerillas hiding deep in the mountains - will be recognised as the official body for Olympic boxing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/65987324
