No, apparently clapping at big moments is welcome in shooting, but if you do it at Wimbledon you will go to jail. Go figure.

5000m runners must NOT ignore the free drinks!

Hey they fixed it by relegating to a just plain U. ASCII 129/154 guys.

Yeah, can’t cope with the Ü umlaut.

Crikey, how old is Liemarvin Bonefacia?

Mobile phone just gave me a annoyed beep.

Just beat in the Hammer! Oops! No they didn’t!

400m runner has face paint that makes her look like she’s smoking a cigarette. Bol 49.82 CR

They’re not as chaotic as though.

Not only that, they have totally reset the score. Because everyone knows the throwers aim at the lines.

Belgian hammer thrower is called Sterckendries - Sterck = Strong in Flemish.

So as long as you remember to take a lightning rod, you’ll be fine.

And in what year did he win his Fencing Gold Medal?

Very busy European Games - Disappointed that there are so few events with commentary, so I'll have to be more selective. Certainly the Team Athletics, mountain biking & archery. Triathlon - All the big names are in Montreal for two sprint races & a relay Cycling - National Championships weekend. We have had much less British cycling than usual this year so will have to watch the Circuit Races on Friday & the Road Races on Sunday. Both on Discovery Plus and YouTube. Also Spanish & French road races are usually good. Speedway - From Gorzow, so Polish race are always big fan days.

You’ll need to read this first, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Poland?wprov=sfti1

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!
