    Good idea? I cant see it taking off hugely but could act as a good spectacle for viewers as I think relays can be some of the most visually appealing races for a tv audience

    First 2 events in the Bahamas. I wonder what appealed to the IAAF council about this idea....

    We have received strong support and financial guarantees from the Government of the Bahamas

    I could imagine this might have some bearing on it maybe? unless this came after the link had been established

    No 4x1 Mile relay on the list. Our record is safe for some time yet so!

    Might eventually mean there is a bit more competition for the USA, or countries where everyone goes through the US colleges. Learning not to drop things on the floor and pass a stick to your buddy at the right spot is clearly something that will be useful for the UK teams.

    Speaking of that record I was checking PBs for the lads. Why has Eamon Coghlan not got a PB for the 1500 metres outdoor on the IAAF website or wikipedia? Anyone know what his PB is?

    Thanks.

    I wonder why this time is not listed on the IAAF file for Eamon. No outdoor PB listed

    Mo Farrah is faster!
