For us in Britain the CWG does two things now
 
Debut Multi Sport Games for those transitioning from the obscurity of Juniors to the spotlight of full international competition A way of saying thanks to all those hard-working amateur & semi-pro sportspeople who are not going to ever win the big prizes.  
That’s good enough for me. No need for the hosts to spend a fortune to transform their cities - just do what Munich 2022 did & make sensible use of pre-existing resources.

He beat the African Record Frankie Fredericks set Atlanta 1996!

European Record 51.45 for Femke Bol in the Hurdles.  

Set a WL 37.80 in a test 4x100m - gets them Q for Budapest, assuming 16 other countries don’t beat them next week.  

All live on YT on Saturday & Sunday morning.

Oh really? Seems to me to indicate the club are a gang of bedwetting cowards who won’t protect their employees against pathetic internet incels. 

Mary Decket & Zola Budd still hold their respective women’s Mile NRs.  
 
Another WR for Kipyegon!

100m hurdles World Champion (And WR Holder)  Amusan, is provisionally suspended for having missed three doping tests in the last year. 
 
"The Charge will be heard by the Disciplinary Tribunal and determined before the World Athletics Championships"
 
If charged, it could result in a suspension of up to two years, which would have her missing the upcoming Olympics. 

There’s the Istvan Gyulai meet from Hungary just about to start.

Wouldn’t say so - Potter & Coldwell have been better than Georgia Taylor-Brown this year.

Sorry should have said, makes up big time on the race for third. Obviously P&V are far away.

I guess at that age athletes do not have the experience to peak twice in a season & of course their NCAA coach is not going to act in anybody else’s interest.

Restarting at 19:00 .
 
In the meantime, a chance to compare whether than Finnish pop is worse than Polish.  A bit like asking if you prefer train crashes to car crashes.

Running about an hour late - great women’s 400m final

Look at as a chance to catch up on all those box sets.  

Decent meet coming up tomorrow - the Morton Games from Dublin .  Presuming lots of Irish big names not in Finland will be present.  No matter what, Commentators are always turbo!

People underestimate just how much work the NCAA is.  Pretty common to see people putting up big numbers in May but fading by the middle of the Euro season.
