World Athletics Championships 2019

Whose bright idea was it to stage this event in Doha?

One of those responsible was that complete twat Seb Coe, I will never ever forgive him for how he organised the ticketing allocation at the 2012 Olympics.

That mixed relay was tremendous.

A tiny Japanese women being chased down by a load of male athletes.

If the bloke running the previous leg had given her more of a lead, she might have hung on.

Only looks like one winner in the 100m, as for the other medals it looks wide open. Hughes seems to have a chance but needs to sort his start out.

D A-S blitzes the field in the 100m semi.

Holly Bradshaw looks a lot like Chris Wood.

She’s rapid isn’t she. Genuine chance of gold I think.

There's a good chance that it will be one of the quickest ever finals.

Just watching now and it's embrassing. Sport again has sold itself to oil money. Nothing is immune even the all electric series Formula E!

On the plus side some of the athletes aren't bad looking..

Looking forward to Asher-Smith, blimey, can she run?
On another note, how stupid holding this event in Doha, second only to the Olympics for an athlete and the stadium is 3/4 empty?
