True mate. That said, we lost the 4x100m men’s race to an American team that includes dopers. Sometimes, have to take the rough with the smooth

Yep, that’s true also
You know what, I hope so I really do. She is incredible and I love watching her run. There’s always that doubt but I live in hope they are clean.One of the best athletes with the worst language lol. We will ever know if she ran clean? Innocent until proven guilty I guess.

That was a very special run tonight. I hope she is clean too.
The men's relay team were unlucky. That was the joint 6th fastest run ever in that event and they still came second (That's happened a few times this fortnight).
Considering there's no truly elite sprinters (unlike the stacked US team), that's a tremendous effort. Then consider Hughes pulled his hammy on the changeover as well. Definitely the best of team GB for me this Championship, even though it's only a silver. I suppose Japan's bronze with a top 15 all time pace is equally impressive!

Hats off to Callum Hawkins in the marathon, a sensational run, was 10th or so, and over a minute behind with 10km to go, but reeled them in, took the lead in the last kilometre, only to beaten by 2 Ethiopians and a Kenyan to 4th place, absolutely brilliant, and for me the performance of the games for GB.

Anyway, want to forget about footy for a bit - though I don’t expect our men’s 4x400m to cheer me up much, but you never know!

Looks like we had a bit of a plodder on the first leg of the women's 4 x 400m relay as well.
