    Cheriuyot is wearing the wrong colour of kit, the Nike Gods will be angry.

    Love the Brussels Diamond League The Smurfs Drummers of Burundi Every single stadium announcement must be made twice.

    Oh well, my memories are more dramatic than the boring old real world. i should be writing for films.

    Men tomorrow, mixed relay Monday.

    But I think she was leading before the jumping round.

    She also had a horrible meltdown in London 2012 when she was a big favourite for Gold.

    Horses hate French people, they know they get eaten there.

    Pretty easy for Silkina after excellent fencing and jumping, very exciting for other medals.

    For once the graphics work... this is a horse-race track they are using.

    It’s a rule in boxing that you are not allowed to fight for a certain number of weeks after losing a fight, hence two bronzes. Suppose it is the same in other martial arts.

    The way the puts Britain nearest the top.

    From France, in other words.

    She needs to try cross-country running, then she will have medals in all three... She would not be the first dual CC Ski/Bike Olympian, though: one of the Czech girls has done both, can’t remember her name. Never near the medals in either, though. Most common solo double is speed-skating / cycling, quite a few have done that. (I’m not counting athletics / bobsleigh crew, extremely common.)

    Results were based on the Friday qualifiers only: bad weather meant the Saturday Finals never took place.

    Must have sorted something out, they are riding now.

    For some reason the first stage of the Vuelta is always a Team Time Trial round a beach-side holiday town.

    For sure both: as it is the small nations - ie outside the top 20 - never get to practice mass start races.

    I did notice a few blood-stained knees & elbows yesterday.

    Think it would be a good idea to have the SuperSprint in the World Champs as a pre-qualifier race for the small nations or IBU Cup Athletes. Similar to the short races they do in the Cross-Country Ski Worlds.

    We do have a few teenage ski jumpers now, some doing well at age group level.

    I’m think the NCAA finals in March, msybe?

    Ice hockey got a lot of work to do to make themselves more popular in Africa. And very odd that basketball is not popular in Africa, yet there are lots of African pros.

    Watching the Morton Games from Dublin. They’d put on a mixed 4x400 to try to get some Doha times registered. Dutch 400m runner (think it was LeeMarvin Bonificia) led off and forgot to carry the baton! Don’t know how he did it, presumably he’d been given one and had put it down when taking off his kit. Obviously drug problems in Dutch Athletics go deeper than we thought.

    And to think his ancestors got all the way to Easter Island!

    Actually I think that’s a bad thing, it shows that it’s long past time to go to a full Decathlon for the women. The event is not supposed to be won by a great performance in one single discipline. Decathlon Men are never international class in a single discipline, they are true all rounders.
