Unbelievable how this happened.

Watch: Buggy carrying athletes to stadium crashes

Watch the moment two buggies - one carrying 200m semi-finalists - collide in an accident on the way to the stadium at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest.

And I say this every championship but can we take a moment to honour the timeless beauty of Denise. Looking fine at 50.

Relay time...

bit worried there but that last hundred for the gb boys was very quick. And Italy's final 200m was rapid. Worked from fourth to first.

Mens long jump, who knew it could be so dangerous....

That was mad. Apparrntly they use a plastic piece as the foul board now instead of plasticine and the foot can slide right through on it causing that.

The IAAF will have to look at that. A long jumper / triple jumper will get badly hurt by that change.

Triple jump final womens, World champ with multiple fails, takes the lead with her final jump. Crushing.

Won it. Think she made two jumps legit in total to qualify then make the winning jump. Wins by 8cm. Incredible.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Womens Javelin, and there it is, world number one, final throw, takes the lead by a couple of metres.
