    Enjoy it! I had planned to go until I realised that it clashed with my youngest's birthday party. :( Stopping twenty 5 year olds from killing each other on a bouncy castle will be just as much fun won't it?

    Even worse - if it's forecast to rain the company won't deliver the bouncy castle :eek:. I've been keeping a closer eye on the forecast than I do coming up to a marathon. Currently scheduled to rain heavily here on Friday and Sunday but stay dry on Saturday - fingers crossed that it actually happens that way.

    British Athletics saying on Twitter that the roof extends as far as lane 1 - hoping that the rain won't be too much of an issue for us this evening considering we're in row 6 :eek:

    Anyone know if this is also covered on BBC Red Button?

    Weltklasse is always one of the best meets, if not the best.

    Looking forward to seeing how Barr gets on. It's quite an even but competitive line-up in the 400mH, with 6 of them around 48.5 - 49.0 this season.

    Jager will be looking to bounce back in the Steeple, the 400 looks tasty with all of the big guns there, the High Jump is loaded as well.
    And I expect that Kiprop will be experimenting once again, finding new more difficult ways to win! :D

    A bit of a disappointing meet really, surprised there was no Bolt or Gatlin. All the times were well down on Beijing, I wonder was it held to soon after worlds, would another week have made a difference? Kiprop was as impressive as ever, a mile back at the bell but first across the finish line. I always though Greg Rutherford was very luck to win Olympic Gold but he now holds the Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth titles and diamond league winner now, he has become a real big time performer.

    Yeh it was ok at best last night. 4 days after the championships is too soon especially given the flight back, time difference, jet lag etc. Also arriving into 15 degrees after being in over 30 for a few weeks is a shock to the body. I'm still not fully recovered from all of the above so I can't envisage what it's like for athletes having to compete.

    Did I imagine it or was there discussion about the Beijing track being a bit harder and therefore fast?

    Not necessarily TV, but you should be able to pick it up from the official stream here. Commentary will be in German only. The official site also suggests that you should be able to watch it live on Eurosport, though I can't see it in the listings.

    Hmmm... Good spot!

    Should be available here. Also should be available on Universal Sports, but that's a pay service I believe (and a flaky one at that).
