Love to see the Aviva 2013 Irish Schools Track and Field Championships.

Caprica · 13-06-2013 8:00pm

Very impressive running by Defar in the womens 5k to come home in a world leading of 14:26, she really burned them of in the last 400. BBC have a clock counting down to Bolts appearance. I wonder has Tim Hutchins left Eurosport, I like him as a commentator.

Laura Crowe is in the 800 at 8.20, she done well to get a diamond league race.

Great running by Crowe, came in home in a new PB of 2.02.69, previous PB was 2.04.30.

Warching a lot of athletics on tv recently, get to wondering what events do people prefer to watch on tv. For me, it would have to be
1) pole vault/ high jump
2) 100/200
3) hurdles
4) 400/800
5) 1500/5k/10k/sc
6) Lj/tj
7) throws (sorry, much better live than on tv IMO)

mikehammer67 · 02-07-2013 8:28pm

100 flat and hurdles

400 flat and hurdles

800

5000

when's the next diamond league on?

notsofast · 02-07-2013 9:09pm

Do you have bbc 3? It's on there tonight rather than the red button.

clear thinking · 04-07-2013 4:47pm

ah great!

nerraw1111 · 04-07-2013 7:49pm

Men's 5000 is about to start on bbc3 now

walshb · 04-07-2013 8:16pm

Gay ran a 9.79. He hasn't been this good in a few years. Unreal. Surely come Moscow in a championship race he can drop a low 9.7?

MD1990 · 04-07-2013 8:45pm

Kim Collins 9.97 PB & NR at 37 is an incredible achievement

After falling out with his country's Olympic officials for an unsanctioned meeting with his wife at a London hotel, Collins was dropped from the Saint Kitts and Nevis team before the 100m heats at the London 2012 Olympic Games - wikipedia

Deano7788 · 13-07-2013 1:15pm

The British trials are on today and tomorrow from 2 to 4 on BBC 1 today and 2 tomorrow

walshb · 13-07-2013 2:41pm

James Dasaolu just ran a 9.91 in the semis of the 100 metres at the British Championships. 2nd fastest ever for a British sprinter.

mikehammer67 · 13-07-2013 2:44pm

walshb · 13-07-2013 2:44pm

Didn't get it, but it was a legal time. Chambers in his semi ran a 10.02 with a gust of 3.4 metres behind him.

Good news for armchair athletics fans. Hopefully, Beeb will continue to broadcast Diamond League as well.

From BBC Sport:
"UK Athletics confirm that British Athletics events will continue to be shown on terrestrial television through to 2020 following an extension to the current broadcasting rights agreement with the BBC.
The deal ensures that British Athletics' grand prix events like the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games and high profile domestic events such as the Sainsbury's British Championships will continue to be broadcast on free to air television, giving the sport an enviable broadcast platform in the years building up to and beyond the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London."

walshb · 27-07-2013 2:05pm

Athletics on BBC now. I thought I was hearing things when I heard Gabby Logan mention that Mo broke Cram's PB over 1500 meters, as well as the European record. Had to check it out, and yes, he went sub 3 mins 29. That is unreal. Where did that come from? Sort of mocks Cram and Ovett and Coe. All 800/1500 speedsters, yet a 5 k and 10 k specialist betters them. Wow!

Letyourselfgo · 04-08-2013 10:44am

Morton games just started on Setanta NOW

nerraw1111 · 08-08-2013 4:51pm

diamond league from Stockholm on bbc 3 at 7, not sure what to expect so close to the world champs.

Itziger · 22-08-2013 8:58pm

What a strange 800 race. That Montano woman is a funny runner. After the blow up at World Champs, she seemed to be running smarter tonight only to make her challenge in lane 4, even 5. What the heck? Why would you do that? She obviously loses some advantage by straying that wide and then barely loses in the end!
Pacer didn't help at 600mts mind.

weird alright, I couldn't believe the way the pacemaker just slammed on the brakes in the middle of the track, I was expecting a pile up. very strange.

the_real_lamp · 28-08-2013 6:47pm

Zurich Diamod League tomorrow on BBC 3 @7pm. Great Line up includes Defar vs Dibaba in the 5k.

hypersonic · 29-08-2013 7:12pm

women's 5000m up in a few mins, should be an interesting race. stadium looks great with a good crowd.

hypersonic · 29-08-2013 7:30pm

Defar demolished that, sub 60s closing lap.

PaulieC · 06-09-2013 9:33am

Diamond League on BBC2 tonight from 7-9pm. Take that niche sport.
