Zohri is the former World Junior Champ. Or in fact may be the reigning WJC.

Strange thing is the countries like Fiji have much faster guys playing Rugby Sevens, but somehowthey never bring them here.

100m Prelims! Quality sport.

It is Jenny Meadows, former British 800m runner (and coach to Keely Hodgkinson). Her struggles with names are a byword.

BBC Coverage is already . If you like to watch lots of ex-athletes expressing banalities about modern athletics the BBC is for you. If you want to watch athletics, VPN & YT.

Incidentally, there was actually a separate pro tour for athletics at the time, like the old pre-war NFL or Rugby League. It wasn’t very respectable….

I read elsewhere that setting your VPN to works for YouTube.

No, we need a Visa but once you get it they're valid for two years.

FYI here’s the BBC timetable. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/62125848

I don't know if anyone other than the event organisers are still conceiving of this as a genuine multi-sports event, rather than a whole lot of different Championships that just happen to take place in the same city at the same time. In case anyone is, I've made up a brief spreadsheet showing the times of all the main events, and have incorporated my world-wide time calculator option. I started off to do a much more detailed one, but soon realised that only people imprisoned in dungeons for many years would be interested in that level of detail. It might be useful to people who are equally fans of table tennis and canoe sprint who can't decide what to watch. Munich Time Calculator.xls

For those that don’t know, he lost the medals because at some time prior to 1912 he had also been a pro baseball player, which was interpreted (by some, not all) as a violation of the Olympic rules.

And also since there is no obvious French hero like Alaphillipe, Voeckler, Jalabert or Virenque were.

BBC have a lot of coverage which you’ll be able to get, but it does swap from BBC1/BBC2 to cable channels you won’t be able to get.

And a couple of others. 2024 Cross Country Worlds for Pula . 2026 CC Worlds for Talahassee, Florida

Dunno about the riders, but I'm looking forward to a bit of a rest day tomorrow. Just a few mild climbs and a breakaway win. Need to get an afternoon nap because it’s going to be an all-nighter from Oregon.

Yeah but the finals are the next day at very small hours Kenyan time, so….

Apparently he is on his way, but even if the very best happens and he arrives on time, he'll only have a few hours before his first race!

Pogačar attacks! Vingegaard follows, Thomas keeps a steady pace.

Gaudu & Quintana paying for their big days yesterday. Bardet also.

Spectacular descent of the Galibier by Tom Pidcock - made up 4:30! Also brought Chris Froome up to the breakaway. And Pidcock is now riding solo for the win. The Gendarmarie are now allowing drunk fans into the gap between him & Meintjes.

Startlists for tomorrow. https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-championships/oregon22/timetable

Does look good, but I prefer a tighter stadium like Oslo or Stockhom.

Very early draft of the Commonwealth Games Event List & Time Calculator. We don't have draws yet for Athletics, Swimming, Track Cycling etc, so not much detail there. It does have most of the team sports though, so you can get some planning done from your homes in Qaanaaq, Greenland & Fakaofa, Tukalau. Birmingham time calculator - early version.xls

Vlasov another disappearing man today.
