A load of class mates have said he was in school when he was 8, this lad could not lie straight in bed

Mo Farah certainly has a history of being very forgetful when it comes to what he has been injected with and what he has written on doping control forms so it stands to reason he may have forgotten a detail or two of this (genuinely) fairly horrible story

Maybe he is going to claim it was the other Mo Farah doping

Mo really winds up the usual suspects :man_shrugging:

The anti doping crowd?

Rhasidat and Sophie both prioritized the World’s over the Euros. Hopefully it pays off for them. One of them getting to a final is nearly unthinkable

Apparently a load of hassle for athletes getting visas

For Oregon or Germany?

Oregon.

Phil Healy will never have a better chance to medal. If she doesn’t this year then she never will

Sophie is the pride of Wexford

Mixed 4x400m up now on BBC4. Heat 1 about to start. We go in Heat 2. Stadium is empty. Michael Johnson is earning his money this evening

Bizarre commentary here with huge gaps of silence in it

We’re definitely getting the weaker of the 2 heats so a great chance to make a final. GB&NI eliminated. We’ll likely need a sub 3:13 time to qualify which probably requires 2 to 3 PBs from our crew
