Track running

Not quite as good a run as Faith Kipyegon though.

What's with that emoji? Something you want to get off your chest?

Never heard of her.

Has Paula Radcliffe always had such an annoying raspy voice?

I'm glad it's not just me. She'll be doing the marathons I'm sure so happy days.

Ww could have done much better there, some poor changes

Jamaica and USA were a long way ahead, so we'd probably still be 3rd with good changes.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Italy though. Brilliant from them, but what a chance we had there

Decent relay runs, and what a performance by Laura Muir.

It's like she's trying to channel macy gray. Which is lovely in a 3 minute pop song. But not 3 hours of marathon.

Great run by Jakob Ingebrigtsen to win the 1500m and a good bronze with a PB for Josh Kerr

 

[Lord Camomile]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeesus, the States bossed that 4 x 400m

Glad the Netherlands got silver in that 4x400m relay, as the only team to do a halfway decent dance routine in the team walk outs

Radcliffe seems to talk like she's actually running a marathon.. Exhausting!

It's called a "gastric event" nowadays, as I learnt from the 50km walk the other day, although the walkers manage to use the competitor's toilets dotted around the course.

Not a track race and not in the Olympics, but otherwise, great bump

Seemed like a good place to put it at the time without starting a new thread.

We could have a general athletics thread. I can't remember that ever happening on here before.
