What's with the athletics starting up soon soon? The 10,000m final already...we haven't yet had anything from the velodrome.
Incredible that she had to seek crowdfunding after women's bmx was dropped by UK Sport. She won a gold.

How great was it - brilliant to see how much it means to them and shows the level of passion both from the competitors and also the commentators- they know how much work comes down to one run.

Well you know how the Americans are in the golf, way too over the top! Michael Johnson is much too cool for that, long may he continue to be our Athletics pundit! ?For the athletics we get the wonderful Michael Johnson doing punditry. Anyone in the US, who do they use? I'm always amazed that the Americans haven't snapped him up.
Good point. I hope he continues to stay with us, he is a class actWell you know how the Americans are in the golf, way too over the top! Michael Johnson is much too cool for that, long may he continue to be our Athletics pundit! ?
Agreed, it was a brilliant watch, exciting all the way to the finish!Really enjoyed the mixed triathlon, thought the shorter format worked really well for TV
And we struck gold ? ?
Eurosport 2 from 5.45.We’ve been away for a few days so not been able to watch any live events. I would like to watch the golf early in the morning. Any advice on how to watch it?
Thank you.Eurosport 2 from 5.45.
Not sure she’d have had much chance in the 100m, her PB is 10.83 and the winner ran 10.61.Really disappointed that Dina-Asher-Smith hasn't made the 100metre final. And has subsequently pulled out of the 200metres,saying that she has a hamstring problem.
What I don't understand is that she is still going in the relay, with a hamstring issue. Surely that's a big risk for herself and obviously the relay team. ?
DA-S needs (at least seems to need) races/competition to inspire her to perform. Covid restrictions have meant that these have been greatly restricted, so the incentive to train has been missing too. It's all about finding the 'best' incentive and hers has been forcibly removed! That said, it's great to see Daryll Neita qualified for the Final - even though i don't expect her to feature except as an 'also ran'. A Jamaican 1-2-3 seems, to me, quite likely, but Neita could well become UK's best female sprinter quite soon.Really disappointed that Dina-Asher-Smith hasn't made the 100metre final.

Spoiler alert, they ran the final about 6 hours ago - and you were right it was a Jamaican 1,2,3DA-S needs (at least seems to need) races/competition to inspire her to perform.

Agreed, but had she been injury free she would have at least had a chance of a medal.Not sure she’d have had much chance in the 100m, her PB is 10.83 and the winner ran 10.61.
