    Fans in the stadium seem keen to watch, though, although has a history of building integrated events in the CWG. Won’t work in every country. Plus there is the usual problem with para events - 25% are competitive, 75% are walkovers.

    Well, this isn't very good. Health chiefs are investigating after triathletes reported falling ill after taking part in the World Triathlon Championship Series in Sunderland. Concerns were raised around water quality results for a test taken on 26 July by the Environment Agency, which showed high levels of E.coli.

    Exactly. It is a rule of British life that we exist to make life easy for bureaucrats, not the other way around.

    Guess you’re a big speedway fan, then?

    All you have to do is go the shop and buy the same equipment. Well, first you have to find that shop, of course. There can’t be more than 150,000 to choose from.

    Think you are safe. UK Athletics are being very strict with qualifications this year, and are not accepting those redistributed ranking places. Our athletes are not happy, but someone elses' will be...

    Of course, for this Championships paralympic medals are just as important for the overall medals table as able-bodied ones.

    No, has been only a very rare competitor this year and no form.

    politics rocked by poor performance of 100m runner. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-66387994

    Well, Fanny Blankers-Koen London 1948. Think Sally Pearson did at at the Commonwealths, but not at a Major.

    Great moment in the 10,000m - lapped runner picked up his speed & attempted to pace run for his team-mate - got an instant red card.

    This is exactly how the Straights of Gibraltar were created 8000 years ago. Just two little caveboys playing on the beach.____ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12365513/Florida-beachgoer-builds-trench-goes-horribly-wrong-viral-video-cops-forced-shut-down.html

    Noticed this yesterday. Would not be the first time some Government Minister's relation has been given a free holiday like this. Outrage as 'untrained' Somali sprinter jogs 100m in international competition (msn.com)

    Yeah, I’ve seen documentaries; they are disciplined & obsessive in ways that no western countries could tolerate.

    Catching up with the Athletics from this morning. & have also sent strong teams, so there’s going to be some good events.

    Murky case here as Peter Bol exonerated & reinstated. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-66368074

    Can’t agree. Why is University sport worse than teams of millionaire mercenaries? Sports always exciting & dramatic when you have evenly matched teams & players.

    Goid article for techies about Ryan Crouser’s technique. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/66312451

    Victory for Zografski! Don’t get many of those.

    Athletics at the FISU Games start tomorrow. Shaping up to be mostly an Asian showdown, I think.

    Pointed this out before, but any country whose aristocracy talked French in the 19th century counts as a Francophone country, no matter what language the serfs spoke.

    Funny incident in the relay in Sunderland today when a lady mixed up the & flags - got a time penalty which cost bronze.

    Tom Daley announces his un-retirement; will attempt to make Paris. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/diving/66353357

    If only there was a equivalent to the word “taquinage”.
