This Virgin Media coverage which is just the international feed is absolutely abysmal. Bring back Robbie the racist!

A televised big athletics meet without the dulcet tones of Greg Allen is an abomination.

I blame McBennett the UUCOAM

Who’s doing the analysis is studio?

There is none!

I watched it on the BBC. Far superior coverage and they covered all the Irish too, to be fair.

The girl (Sarah Mulkerrins, I think) that does the GAA championship presenting is the trackside interviewer for them.

Ah that’s brutal.

Good morning’s results overall. Shame for the walker lad. It’s a big decision to live in penury to give yourself a chance of coming in the top 20 or so in the Olympics but I suppose that’s what it takes

Rob’s guy got the silver I think

Andrew Coscoran qualifies. Kate seemed to be struggling in the shot put

Correct.

Irish athletics in as good a Nick as any of us can recall and the cunts in RTÉ have made a Cunt of it.

Sickening

What a finish to 10,000. Hassan falls in finishing strait neck and neck with the Ethiopian girl.

Aw brutal way to lose it. She just got a bit discombobulated.

Hassan looked a bit tired. Ethiopian girl, Tseguy was going to win it. It’s some workload Hassan has taken on.

Real Devon Loch stuff

Kate O’Connor finishes the day in 11th place. The Shot Put let her down from what I can see.

Ryan Crouser is pure box office.

That was a great shot putt final.
