    I am sure I have read somewhere that drowning is a common form of death in the Sahara. When rain does fall, there is lots of bare rock, so it produces very rapid flash floods that can sweep away unwary travellers.

    Start lists and timetables for Brussels on Friday and Saturday. Sydney McLaughlin is squeezed in between the Wheelchair Races and the Flemish U-13 Girls 100m Exhibition. Program 2024 (diamondleague.com)

    Any word about TV Coverage? Discovery has the five senior races as normal, but no sign of the age group races. Locked away on Belgian payTV?

    Ah good, was wondering what the relationship of Endurance Rowing was to Coastal Rowing. They're wimping out a bit holding it at Genoa though, would prefer somewhere a bit more storm-tossed.

    Judging always takes two or three minutes in these competitions - longer even for possible medal runs - for reasons above, so just saying DNI is a way of saying it's not worth comparing a fall on the third hit to a fall on the fourth hit since neither are going to affect the overall.

    Scoring in all these events is a bit strange as they are not judging a pre-defined move to an absolute standard, as happens in diving, gymnastics etc, but are constantly shuffling around trying to score riders relative not only to each other, but to that riders' previous runs earlier in the competition and qualifying.

    Athletics is always the easiest & cheapest sport for new nations to start a para program, so it will always be the most competitive. But certainly UKA seems a bit complacent when it comes to recruiting new talent compared to swimming or cycling for sure.

    Great Games for 49 Gold 44 Silver 31 Bronze Second overall. Very small number of disappointments, maybe one Games too many for a handful, but otherwise a great two weeks for us.
