Where did that NZ lad come out of?

Geordie Beamish, Cole Hocker & Hobbs Kessler the 1, 2, 3 in the 1500 M final.

3 for the ridiculous sportsperson names thread.

Cole Hocker or Hobbs Kessler sound like small British law firms

Wasn’t aware Kate Carter was embroiled in this controversy. Sean Ingle of The Guardian is her other half.

On a separate note, fantastic to see Rhasidat Adeleke join the KPMG stable.

Tax or audit?

The same stable as Rachael Blackmore

When is a world record not a world record?

Nope, too windy

Jesus She’s got an awful lot faster over the shorter sprints.

Wind was +3.5. That’d still be sub 11 with a legal wind. Her pb is 11.31.

Wow.

10.99 with no wind according to Twitter

Incredible.

If she stays fit she’ll podium in Paris

She is amazing.

Any of you lads ever hear of a US sprinter in his early 20’s by the name of Coby Hilton?

Yeah - fast over 60. What’s he done
