  1. The Burkinabe who got the medal in the TJ was really French, I think.
  2. You don\'t get off that easily! 20km Walk coming up in 30 minutes
  3. Hang on, the swimming mixed relay is brilliant! GB always win! Best race on the calendar!
  4. Burkina Faso. Burundi have had medals before, they used to have some good distance runners.
  5. It will go to a tie-break at a lower height if they both fail here. And so on until there is a result.
  6. Zhuk out. Her name is a kind of insect, I think.
  7. Kambundji knocked out by .001! Bad jewellery choices to blame.
  8. Plus they will not get jostled at the changes!
  9. ES don't have the World Champs. Looks like there is no option at all.
  10. Still plenty of room for new tattoos on her right forearm.
  11. I made this mistake before. You can tie for bronze & silver, but for Gold they will keep jumping all night at lower heights until they get a result.
  12. At least we won't have to type her name again.
  13. I love that in the Modern Pentathlon everyone wears their service uniform for the show jumping.
  14. Back in the very olden days - up till the 1980s - before professional athletics started, all the Kenyan & Ethiopian athletes were policemen & Army officers.
  15. Used to be that you got a good jump if you cleared the mat before the bar fell! People would sprint off the mat! You were also allowed to put the bar back on with your hand as you jumped over, a very extreme skill, but some could do it.
  16. I did think that was very odd. Usually they have Scottish names....ahem!
  17. Geez, next height for the PV is 4.70! They are being ruthless. Plenty of them do not have that as a national record.
  18. Seemingly the second gun is down to the fact that the stadium is so empty there is an echo!
  19. Women's Pole Vault is starting at 4.50, so no messing about. Height, not time!
  20. There was definitely a recall gun there.....
  21. Bit of a bummer for anyone going for the double.
  22. Agree, I think the IAAF needs to insist on sporting behaviour in 5000m & 10000m races. Lapped runners must move to lane 2 or be banned from the next Champs.
  23. It is politIcal correctness from the IOC. All of a sudden there must be mixed team events in all sports. Some work well, others are just boring.
  24. Worst Japanese strategic mistake since attacking Pearl Harbour.
