NED DQF. There’s some rule that the baton must go forward at all times I think.

“Igor! Deploy the giant spike magnets! ‘ “Yes Master! Heh heh heh!”

Also took out the Belgian’s hurdle - she jumped over thin air.

But he also easily beat Thomas who was up with him two-thirds in.

Top 10 about to go… Ganna has the lead on the day. Hang on a sec, the Jolly Green Giant has just posted a monster lead. Vignegaard & Thomas closing on van Aert. Quick channel change to get the commentary.

The event logos for this are the absolutely the best I’ve ever seen!

Video of this is pretty funny. A lifeguard competition turned into a real-life rescue after a small plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean near a popular beach in southern California. Video shows the single-engine Piper Club plane slowly descending from the air, almost gliding into the water, as it crashed near the Huntington Beach shoreline. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11040839/Plane-crashes-near-lifeguarding-competition-pilot-rescued.html

You know who’s having an existential crisis right now? 4th place finisher Champion Allison.

Kirani James has now got Gold, Silver & Bronze at both Worlds & Olympics!

Matthew Hudson-Smith at last gets a big medal! But ‘s European record lasts for another Champs.

Mixed news for in the PV. Guttormsen through Guttormsen out

My thought is that any number of changes, but only six medals total. So for the sale of team harmony…

They’re 1&2 now.

What makes it worse for is that Qed.

Still an NR, so not bad considering that No 4 got a standing start.

Messed that up! 3rd change.

No DNFs! What kind of a wimpy heat was that? We want drama

Things a lot better organised -wise this time. Embassy has been on the case! Fans at course-side, Kimberly given a flag… Should bring back the 50km though, just not cruel & gruelling enough.

You do sometimes get freelancers as well though, even from big teams.

Already plotting to attack when the champagne glasses are handed out on the Paris stage.

Strange how we originally thought that only small nations with not much money would ignore the Worlds for the Europeans. Obviously, with 0 medals between them so far & have done the same thing. At least Germany have an excuse.
