  1. I don't see magic shoes or magic tracks as being anything bad - it is a natural part of the development of the sport, we don't want to go back to the days of Roger Bannister running a four minute mile on cinder tracks.
  2. Silver for Bednarek!
  3. Thompson-Herah almost forgotten here after Tokyo. Just the 100m Bronze.
  4. True WR, really.
  5. Fighting Q from Grijalva - do not remember any Guatemalan track runners, lots of race walkers.
  6. Summer World Cup season starts tomorrow - Men and Women's weekend from Wisla . It's on ES, don't know about commentary!
  7. Now looks that Pogačar does not want to attack Vignegaard! Is having an argument with his boss.
  8. Idiot moto scythes down Jack Bauer - he gets up but is majorly
  9. Definitive mascot action here as he has a dance-off with Alison Dos Santos. Forgot the link https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/athletics/62247387
  10. Successful athletics nations are built around sporting dynasties & coaching traditions. So Jamaica always has strong sprinters, Kenya strong middle-distance runners, the USA great 400m runners, Poland big muzhik heavy throwers etc etc. You don’t get consistent success with one good long jumper, one 4x100m team, one good hurdler.
  11. Ah no, it was Tual who started the dominoes falling. Going to take a while to fix, appeal & counter-appeal.
  12. Serves him right. He started the fight, lost the fight.
  13. The only thing I can think of is that it gives you the right to have a car up at the head of the race, which can be handy. But the idea that the guy from the break is going to give your team leader 5km on the final climb…..don’t remember that ever happening recently.
  14. Certainly did not live up to her name (Ledecka)
  15. Sure, if you have the best rider in the World on your team, I can see how that would be handy.
  16. Once again the “send a man up the road to help later” theory is completely useless. Ineos sent van Baarle up the road early. The group with Thomas reaches him. Van Baarle falls away after 20 metres, contributes absolutely nothing, not so much as a bottle.
  17. Always one of the great moments in any TdF when the camera pans round from riders riding on the flat to the huge wall of rock that that they’re about to ride up.
  18. Wout van Aert confirms his victory in the Green Jersey, providing he gets to the Champs.
  19. Jake Wightman I did not expect that! Thought Josh Kerr had the better chance. Just to remind everyone, Jake’s father Geoff is the Stadium Announcer in Oregon.
  20. Alekyonok takes the lead.
  21. Vitoria Rosa 22.47 AR! Was nowhere near…. kambundji through.
  22. Haven’t seen an entry lists for anything other than the team sports yet.
  23. British Commentators think it was Steve Bauer, stage win in 1988. Steve Bauer - Wikipedia
