Some juicing going on in these championships
That’s just insane from McLaughlin. What would she run a flat 400 in? That’s right up there with Marita Koch 47.60 record for the 400.
A tribute to Bob Kersee’s coaching.

The new shoe technology is making a mockery of times set before them.

Shoes do actually make a big difference. It’s a different kind of cheating.

I think venue is great. Small. Steeped in Athletics.
Watched most of it on World Athletics YouTube livestream recordings. Great service, good commentary. A pleasant change from BBC cheerleading.
You’d miss poor ould Jerry Kiernan all the same.

Lyles who won 200m is an interesting character who seems to understand he needs to promote athletics to make money. It deserves to be mainstream.
There’s no hiding place or opinion on a track. There’s no subjective man of the match. The start line is probably the loneliest place in sport.
Fastest. Longest. Highest.

She has world bests from u14 up to senior in fairness. Most by over a second.
Her lack of apparent joy afterwards was a bit jarring. It’s a lonely sport

Individual running of any kind is the loneliest sport full stop. Ridiculous sacrifices made and little to no support around you
