It’s like the GAA organised it. I suppose technically it is under their remit.
You couldn’t be trusting the Americans to organise anything. For it to be a proper WAC, it needs to be held in Helsinki or Gothenburg or Malmo
The Yanks generally have no interest in track and field.

I definitely saw 15k mentioned in some article I read about the men’s 100m but may not have been correct.
Worth a watch - womens 1500M final. Watch what a first 400m of 55.12 does to the field 
- sensational running
Fast forward to 3 minutes for race start

“Everything hurt,” Muir said. “The last 100m my legs were just on fire. I felt like I couldn’t lift them, I was running in treacle. Everything was burning. Even walking around afterwards, Faith [and I] we were like: ‘We are not OK, this is not good, everything essentially feels on fire.’ But I knew if I got to the finish line, it was going to stop.”
I see the 2 star Norwegians were beaten last night. The drug testers must’ve caught up with them

Rhasidat up at 2:45am tonight/this morning
Mark English at 1:50
Timing is impossible to watch it live
The wrap up show on BBC2 on the mid afternoon is decent

Great to see those Norwegian juicers sent packing
They were both well beaten. It was weird to see. The lad in the 1500m looking around him with 40m left to make sure he wasn’t gonna be passed for 2nd was weird to see. I’d say the Brit that one it is probably well juiced though too
Great run - her first senior major championships - just missed a final place -
19-year-old Rhasidat Adeleke finished fourth in her women’s 400m semi-finals, which saw her ranked in ninth place in the world.
The Tallaght AC rising sprinting superstar ran her second fastest 400m of the season clocking a time of 50.87, just 0.17 behind her national record of 50.70, in the fastest of the three 400m semi-finals.

Looks like Mark English was very unlucky not to make the final overnight. Missed out by 0.2 of a second from what I can see

Yeah. It’s tough. Fractions of a second.
Championship running is bloody hard as they have to run fast two or three times in same couple of days depending on the event.
He’s only running 800 yards.
