Dope

Kenenisa Bekele wins the Berlin Marathon in 2.01.41. Misses out on World Record by two seconds.

Is there not a world championships on at the moment?

That’s the BDO one

Ireland’s Brendan Boyce finished 6th in the 50km walk in just over 4 hours. He looked like he just walked out of a shower at the finish. Completely saturated. Some joke.

Be interesting to see how much weight they lost on the way round. That’s not right for the body

Apparently it’s very humid in countries like Qatar and Japan.

Lads could be a few hours to get the urine sample out

Horrendous and dangerous.

Both 1964 Tokyo and 1988 Seoul Olympics were held in October.

Next year’s Tokyo Olympics are to be held in July/August. All for marketing & tv but not for the athletes

The first 2 seconds of the clip say a lot

He’d be even more saturated after a day working on the bog with a sléan

Heat aside. Walking 50k at that speed must do some serious damage to the body.

Good contest here in the ladies pole vault.

Some mixed relay on now

New event.

Fourth 100m World Championship for Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce.

Outstanding

Good race shaping up here in the mens 5,000.

Ethiopia first and second. Edris shaping up to be an all time great. Jakob Ingebrigtsen couldn’t live with them.
