He’s excellent. I just hope he doesn’t go down the Kimmage & Walsh route of going completely crazy and keeps some bit of balance.

Some ballsy move by the Latvian lass here

Think she has a NR but won’t make the final. Seemed to start slowly and stutter over one.

That was a bit too much for Sarah Lavin. An Irish record though.

Last two hurdles were too much for her. Imagine coming 5th and still getting national record, must be some weird feeling.

I never realised that Sarah’s boyfriend died in a car crash only a few months ago.

And to run a national record. Respect.

Ciara Nugent for Jamaica in the 100m though.

Craig Breen, the rally driver. She did very well and broke a 13 year-old national record. Fair play to her.

National record for Australia there in the pole vault from lovely Kennedy

Ladies pole vaulting is fantastic

Women that know how to handle a pole eh?

It’s a knob joke

I reckon Lavin was 10th. In with a shout of Olympic final

11th by .008
Brilliant achievement.
