  1. Sao Tome e Principe peaked too early.
  2. Nepal's medalless run continues.
  3. Always think that if you are going to hit a gate you should really almost destroy it, like Hedzwig did there. Get full value for your 2 seconds.
  4. Nice clean run for David Florence, needs a top 5 to go to Tokyo.
  5. Would depend on the advice given to the teams when the Championships started. Although you see people using cars for drafting in all the weekly races, if the UCI had said in the technical meeting that the rules would strictly applied here, then it’s the team’s fault for not telling their riders.
  6. Only a single medal and I think I can remember it. Anju Bobby George in the Long Jump?
  7. Crowd is not huge, but all the Ethiopian and Kenyan fans give a lot of atmosphere. This is normal for the Doha Diamond League - there must be a lot of East Africans working there.
  8. BBC says that Jakob is confirmed in the 5000m.
  9. According to the BBC Jakob did step off the track in the first heat, will go to the judges because it was on the straight. (On the bend, definitely out, on the straight, judges' decision. Three whole steps off the track in the clip
  10. Wasn't someone saying earlier that Saudia Arabla were boycotting? There is a Saudi athlete starting in the 5000m.
  11. Yes, I know. The irony is that the Ancient Greeks themselves thought the Macedonians were barbarian non-Greeks.
  12. Air condition is up too high, Bouzayani of Tunisia is feeling a bit cold.
  13. It's a complicated political thing involving the Greeks. They don't want to have a Slavonic country called simply Macedonia because Macedonia was part of Ancient Greece and I think it is a local region in Greece as well.
  14. German girl just woke up in time!
  15. I will see your Steve Hooker and raise you Rod Hooker.
  16. Oh, sorry, false memory. Steve HOOKER, Berlin 2009.
  17. I remember a few years back the Aussie Vaulter Steve Hooper won the World Championship with just two vaults, one in qualifying, one in the final. Had an ankle injury.
  18. 6 fast losers, she could still be lucky. Is currently 2nd fast loser.
  19. In Britain we know where all these countries are because we used to rule them.
  20. Yes, always good to see how Afghan sprinting is getting on. Not last this time, so progress!
  21. I’ve noticed that the African Nations with well-known reputations in cycling - like Eritrea, Rwanda, Ethiopia - have got riders. Also some African riders who are probably already British citizens or residents. But there are some nations we have had trouble with in the past where athletes have been given visas for big events and have disappeared without even competing. So if your list includes Sierra Leone, Cameroon & Nigeria....
  22. Know what...I don’t think the peleton realise that there is still an American off the front here. No race radios.
  23. Dowsett’s our best TT specialist outside of Thomas (who hasn’t really prepared) & Froome, off sick.
  24. We have already seen the UCI Sock Police in action with their ghastly medieval instruments of torture looking for tonsorial violations.
  25. Don’t worry, people, Britain has plenty of rain and will not run out of orange traffic cones!
