Have set the tivo to record this. Hoping they show a bit of the under 20's 3km tonight, but it's on before the program actually starts.

Mo was doing a parkrun last weekend with his missus, wish I'd known as would have been worth the trip just to finish ahead of him:

Just corrected my original post, the coverage tonight is on BBC Two and tomorrow on BBC One.

I really like the Diamond Leagues. I was meant to go to the Rome event this year but had to cancel it.

Heading down to this after work Sitting halfway up the home straight. Mens 800m and the 110m hurdles will be the 2 races of the meet.

Only if he's not against a Heathsider

Interesting to see how DOR goes against Pearson, Carruthers & Ofili-Porter tomorrow.

2.0 wind if things stay way they are or close enough could be some very fast (hopefully legal) times in the sprints

wow - rudisha looking almost easy running 1.42 and killing rest of field :cool:

Yes , it will be very interesting to see how Derval goes, she says she in good form and has been injury free since European Indoors which is very postive for Derval..... Nytra has pulled out of worlds , yanit not running near what shw was like year before the Europeans and Vuckieivic has been injured but is set to compete in Korea......kallur still out injured and urech seemed to get nervous under pressure at the under 23's ..... tiffany porter ran 12.60 recently but i expected more from her after her good indoor season.... she has been pathy over the season in my view and Derval at her best would beat her in a championship..... I think Derval is very capable of beating all the Europeans ....

And for the rest, well lopes-schielp is out for season , shes having a baby..... Perdita Felicien admits herself she not running aswell as she did in previous seasons, though not to be discounted ....
Sally pearson seems to be a class above the rest this season so i dont think anyone will defeat her in Korea......
As for the Americans, well Kellie wells is in good form and Dawn Harper and Danielle Carruthers make up the team... Kellie has ran some quick times but some also have not been so great .... Carruthers is running well but hasnt much big championship experience so interesting to see how she goes .... Harper running well but her times are not out of Derval's reach.... I know every race is different and conditions have to be taken into account but I Think Derval has a great chance id she can make the final.... I think she will be top 5 but after that it all depends on pearson, feliecien , vukicevic and the 3 Americans..... I think she is nearer the the podium than ever before at a worlds ... i know she came 4th in berlin but she was a good bit away from bronze ........ IS THIS DERVAL'S CHANCE ??

Not rocket science when your already on the internet

Merlene Ottey (51) anchoring the Slovenia sprint relay team and still pretty quick :eek:

GB women keep up the great Brit tradition of not getting the baton around

Good run from Cragg, 4th place, and he should take a bit of confidence from a solid run. If he's going to win race's, he's going to win them from the front, and start his move earlier. Looked full of confidence.

Kid has been tearing up the scene for the last 2-3 years. Won the World youths few years back and was dubbed "the Next Bolt". Can see him dominating the 400 in years to come

Today not as good as last night but some good races in store nonetheless. I'm on the back straight today. The atmosphere for Farah and Meadows last night was awesome.

RoyMcC

Watching with interest to see if Lawrence Okoye can pull out a big one and get the third GB discus spot for Daegu. Strange to have GB challengers in the throws (well, one of the throws) for a change. Similar to the Irish group of hammer tyros coming up the track.

Wish they would stop thanking the spaghetti monster for their running.

Makes me cringe every time, and the post race interviewer is clearly trying to get them to shut up and just talk about the running.

Wish you would keep your views on people's belief in God/god in the religion forum and just talk about the running.

Isn't that what I was saying?

They weren't actually as bad today, but last night each of the winners from the other side of the Atlantic were doing it, it's not just the Americans.

Who is this? Are they with a Italian coach?

Thanks sleapy, I was trying to work out who the spaghetti monster was

What happened to DOR - didn't qualify from the semis

She was fourth I believe, and the other heat/ semi was quicker and didn't ge the fastest looser spot, it had the Aussie in the other heat after all so was always going to be quicker.

13.28 for fourth in the second heat last night

One of the Greek athletes got a record at the last Olympics, and thanked Aeolus. Record was voided: wind-assisted.

I believe Bolt thanked Ronald McDonald.
