5% faster in 44 years. It seems quite a small improvement in some ways but perhaps puts in perspective how tough it is to be in the top 8. Wells was in the amateur era and had a pb of 10.11 which is pretty impressive given that he was prob running in Dunlop green flash and never used starting blocks until the Olympics in 1980.

Very pleased for Djokovic. Being the greatest of all time, he simply had to win Olympic gold to be absolutely complete. What I find interesting is that it took that kind of hunger, aggression and energy to get something he's never won for him to beat Alcaraz. In other words, he probably wasn't burning to win Wimbledon as much as he was for the Olympics.

French guy on the 1st leg has fell off the bike, had issues with his chain and lost 30 seconds on the pack.
Long way to go though.

I wonder how much the pro triathletes practice the transitions, they feel like an F1 pit stop in that you can shaft your whole race on them with one slip up.

Our dude only did 2/3 of the mens so he hopefully has a bit left in the tank.

Tommy Fleet will take an age to recover from that, you’e got to convert from that spot!
The 100m was class, Lyles motoring towards the end.

That was an epic ending to the triathlon as well. That German just went for it no chance anyone was catching her!

Not really a Triathlon follower I know hindsight a wonderful thing but would it have not been better to have Yee in Dickinson place probably could have stretched a bigger gap?
I think that was France to lose though Beaugrand probably smokes everyone had she been closer respect for 4th though after being that far behind.

Thought we might get some uninterrupted athletics being the morning session but nope, let's cut back to the studio and do nothing except watch repeats and state the bloody obvious. :/
edit: I already knew the whole evening was going to be about Keeley which is fair enough, but let's do it all morning as well.
