Ingebrigtsen is supposed to be going for the 2000m wr tonight, a bit of a meh distance but should go close. Think the record has stood for over 20 years.

Diamond League from Brussels tonight, 19.00-21.00 BBC2. Lot's of World champions taking part.
Thanks for the reminder.
I watched Zurich and there were quite a few leggy athletes from Budapest, Xiamen seemed a bit pointless as well, nobody really wanted to race in China I guess.

I know pacemakers are a huge part of him doing this but I'm surprised he doesn't just race like this in Championships. He's capable of times almost nobody else is, should sack the tactics off and go for time and he'd most likely take the golds.

Hard work to lead all the way mate, not saying it's impossible though. Maybe he will try that in the Paris 1500m next year.I know pacemakers are a huge part of him doing this but I'm surprised he doesn't just race like this in Championships.

Not overkeen on him since he got beat by Josh Kerr in the Worlds last month and the interview he did a day or so later. Unsporting and ungracious, saying he had felt ill all week without saying a congratulatory note to Kerr.Ingebrigtsen is supposed to be going for the 2000m wr tonight, a bit of a meh distance but should go close.

She's ending the season really well. Pity she had the problems with her coach, it's obviously taken her a while to get over it.Cracking run from Muir, very good time as well.
What a runner and when she finishes, there’s no showing that she’s out of breath. Amazing. I must say though, I did absolutely love Flo Jo:)Shericka Jackson running a 200m is one of my favourite athletes to watch. She's so close to that world record.

The Diamond League final is tonight, and tomorrow night.
Tonight BBC3 20.00-22.00, Tomorrow BBC3 20.00-23.00.

The moustache and the breaking voice rather gave Flo Jo away. Crazy nails. Nice arse though.What a runner and when she finishes, there’s no showing that she’s out of breath. Amazing. I must say though, I did absolutely love Flo Jo:)
I wondered what you meant at first, then I cottoned on;)The moustache and the breaking voice rather gave Flo Jo away. Crazy nails. Nice arse though.
On another note it’s the finale of the Diamond League tonight and in their wisdom the BBC aren’t showing it on any of their usual channels, so it’s Iplayer or BBC sports website from 8pm tonight.

Typical yanks, Mu has been given a wildcard to run in the women's 800m despite not taking part in one single diamond league meeting all season. She's now eligible to win the 30k first prize, bet the other girls aren't happy.
