The 20th World Athletics Championships. Tokyo 13th-21st September

[gonetomorrow]

The BBC are verging on sycophantic with their comments on any US athlete

I dunno. The Scots commentator made a snidey comment about Benjamin after he was stripped of his gold. Soon changed his tune though. How tragic etc etc.

Shame about that Benjamin, he didn't do it on purpose and the hurdle moving didn't affect the Nigerian at all. I feel like he's been robbed there.

Imagine running sub 19.8 and not getting a medal

 

[cronullasharks]

That triple jump gold medal winner seems like a tosser

I like them getting their medals right after the race. Not a podium in sight.

…terrific 200m silver for Amy Hunt, well done

She's got a great set of teeth.

I cant stand that feller. Andrew Cotter.

All you get out of him is...


"Great Britain and Northern Ireland" "Great Britain and Northern Ireland" "Great Britain and Northern Ireland" "Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

D'you think he's trying to make some point?

Her finishing speed is something else. If she ever gets her starting off the blocks sorted out that silver becomes gold. Only 23 like so she can get quicker.

I see the Kopite bottler has blown it already. 4th at the end of the first day. Probably on the phone to St Virgil asking for advice on how to get opponents disqualified.

I've never liked him. He sounds complacent. Cram and Radcliffe are ok. But no one comes close to David Coleman who knew when to keep his mouth shut.

[TheWinslowBoy]

Classy humble interview from Femke after her victory, asked if she'd REALLY wanted to race against Sydney

"Well I most likely wouldn't have the gold medal now, but I'd have loved to race her"

Always seems one of the nicest, most amenable people in sport.

Except when he said things like "Juantorena opens his legs and shows his class".

…reminds me of a synchronised swimmer but my word she can’t half shift in the last 100m.
