Athletics Thread

Just caught up on this, that mens mile and the women's 1500m were ridiculous. Looking forward to tomorrow's action.

Shame about the attendance, Europe just does athletics better. We'd have sold the London stadium twice over for those stars on show.

For anyone who doesn’t want to sit through the whole thing,
BBC3, Womens 800m due off at 10.19pm tonight followed by Mens and Womens 200m at 10.36pm and 10.49pm to finish the programme.

These runners are unbelievable.….and Duplantis, well, I just don’t know what to say.

Just catching up on tonight's action, that is phenomenal from Tsegay. Tore that phenomenal Kipyegon 5km world record apart.

It deserved sub 14mins.

Great run from Ingebrigtsen considering he ran lightning quick yesterday as well.

He learned from the losses to Wightman and Kerr, wouldn't let Kejelcha past him on that last bend.

Watching it now on BBC3

I enjoy watching athletics and while I don't know any names since the days of Cram, Coe, Ovett & Carl Lewis, Ben Johnson (and Alan Wells) ..........that run by the winner in the womens 5k was phenomonal, fantastic achievement

Really enjoying it and will stick with it for the duration of the evening - especially as MOTD2 will only have one goal to show from todays matches!!

(Footnote - I also remember Whitbread, Sanderson and Daley Thompson!!)

But yeah, really enjoy watching athletics

A bit bizarre of him looking over his shoulder so close to the line almost cost him.

The British will beat him in Paris :)
