Brilliant from KJT.
So pleased for her. Gutsy athlete and but for a freak competitor in Thiam she works have had gold. I hope she's very pleased with that.
Running 2.02 for 800m as a multi event athlete is so so impressive.

 

[Locke]

36 pts off Gold, bless her. Thiam is amazing so really good result considering.

Races like these 10k track runs are a big slog and very boring to watch.

Women's 10km, it tickles me Keith and Daniel are running

Races like these 10k track runs are a big slog and very boring to watch.

Most of these championship races seem to turn into a 1 or 2k sprint as well. Just plod round for about 20 laps!

 

[adidan]

And Ryan, lol

Fair play to the Italian in the 10k

I remember seeing Battocletti winning the euros with ease but thinking she no chance against this type of opposition. She proved me wrong there.

Jonathan Edwards probably doesn't get the respect he deserves for his triple jump WR, almost 30 years later (Jeez and I remember watching him as a kid do it!) and no one can touch it.

Warholm next. Might win, might not.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Warholm next. Might win, might not.

His run in Tokyo was one of the best things I've ever seen in athletics!

Don't think he'll ever top that again but he's still got to be fave here.

In fairness, the winning jump in the Euros was 18.18 - only 11cm behind. It could happen at some point.

This is the one I mentioned earlier on. It was awful.

I don't think many people knew who Toby Roberts was. I certainly didn't. We do now.

Us climbers nerds do! , It's a bit off the BBC calling it a 'shock' gold, he's been winning world cup comps the last year and one of the favourites coming into the Olympics.

Immense effort to beat Soratu, he just fluffed the sequence on the campus traverse section and gassed out at the top. Toby fully deserves the gold, spent half life training for it!

Hope this doesn't mean my climbing gym is going to get even more rammed Great to see the sport on the front pages
