That Degale fella from England has fought Sutherland 4 times and lost each time. Looking good for Darren too
Pretty sure itâs 3-1 to Sutherland. DeGale beat him in an Olympics qualifier earlier this year. Sutherland will be favourite but thereâs no huge gulf in class or anything.
usain bolt is off at 3.20 in the 200 metresâŚshould be worth a watchâŚmight watch it on the bbc to see what michael johnson says when he breaks his recordâŚ
Seems I was harsh on Alistair
Alistair Cragg has finishes sixth in his 5000 metre heat.
But he advances to the final as he is one of the fastest losers. His time was actually faster than the winner of the two other heats.
More to followâŚ
i hink you should issue a full public apology mbbâŚyou coontâŚ
My sincerest apologies to Mr Cragg, I have every faith in your running ability, shur that 5k took nothing out of youâŚ

bolt has just broke the world recordâŚ19.31âŚ
19.30 Puke. BIG difference in athletics
i know yaâŚwas just after posting that and next thing they announced the official time was 19.30 and i just couldnât have been arsed to go back and change itâŚ
the bbc said that he was running against 0.9 of a headwind so he can definately go fasterâŚ
BBC said Bolt âsmashedâ Johnsonâs record. Two hundreths of a second is what he broke it by. Great achievement and i know such margins are significant in sprint races but if one hundreth of a second constitutes breaking the record i think using âsmashâ is a bit much. Maybe use it for three hundreths.
Fraaaaaaank commentating on the Hockey on RT is a legend.
Denis Lynch has been left out (maybe disqualified) from competing in the showjumping final. RTE still trying to find out why.
Press Conference at 11 I believe, this is big news Iâd say.
Olive Loughnane finishes a very credible 7th in the Walk, well done. Have met her in the past, sheâs a lovely girl and this is a huge achievement for her.
Any speculation on the Denis Lynch affair yet? Think this will be a scandal anyway.
Horse tested clean yesterday according to reports, so not sure what this could be. By virtue of the fact that RT dont know whats going on and there will be a press conference, it leads me to believe this is going to be a big deal.
