One of my favourite meetings as it always produces some great races, and is a refreshing change from all the boring Grand Prix stuff with the
relentless pacemakers.
Seems to be fewer plastic Europeans this time as well, which also makes it more interesting.

Jo Pavey - great stuff

Brilliant - Surely got to be SPorts personality of the year - although Rory Mcilroy will probabyl win it.

What an absolute star , ran herself into the ground once again . What an antidote to the pathetic efforts of our footballers in Brazil.
|
|
By:
Brilliant. Got me quite emotional.
And even more amazing that its only a week or so after taking on the Kenyans at the Commonwealths. Even if Mo does the 5k/10k double, it wont compare to what shes achieved. |

MARVELLOUS STUFF PAVEY!

Yes, it was brilliant to see Jo finally win a gold medal at 40 years of age last night!
It was also great to see Andy Vernon take silver behind Mo in the 10,000m just then. |
|
By:
Well done Andy Vernon. Brilliant run and glad he beat the 2 Kenyans... sorry Turks
|
|
By:
BBC2, by the way.

How well deserved is this medal ceremony for Jo now.
Really pleased for her. |
|
By:
- and that will probably mean more to her than any other gold medalist this year.
|
|
By:
Yes, Andy Vernon beat the two Kenyans for silver but could not quite catch the Somalian!
|
|
By:
Great stuff on getting the bronze in the 100m for this girl too. Astounding that it's 40 years since GB women have gained a medal in the 100m.

True, Roy.

Nasty Germans they were Tommy

Hehehehe! They were indeed, Roy!

Oh very good Tiffany Porter!
|
|
By:
Think she's American judging by her accent.
|
|
By:
She has a British mother though, and dual nationality, so not as bad as some.

Excellent Dasaolu!

- and a bronze for the 'twitcher'!

Relay Gold in the bag ,assuming they don't drop it .
|
|
By:
Aye, Sixtwosix - but it's always a big assumption!
Great night for GB athletics tonight. |
|
By:
Good to see Paula Radcliffe commentating. In a sport riddled with steroid,drug and blood transfusion cheats she shines brightly as one of the very few who was successful and Drug free.
|

By:
Whats story with Mo, he was apparently air lifted to hospital and in hospital for 4 days, now gold medalist. Shirley something fishy going on there
 |
|
By:
Your default position on, well everything, is "there is something fishy going on"
|
|
By:
Don't forget Paula made a stand against the cheats as well with her 'EPO Cheats Out' banner.
Sadly, for one reason or another, she wasn't as successful as she should have been. |

Great run by Gemili. 19.98 into a headwind. GOLD
|
|
By:
well deserved for Gemili
|
|
By:
A great run, and a great night for the Brits.
Gold for Gemili and Rooney, and a moral Gold for Weightman in the womens 1500 who was only beaten by a couple of Ethioipians. |
|
By:
Just looked and GB has never hosted the european championships. Wonder why that is.
|
|
By:
Was reading about the 17yo morgan lake this morning, Heptathlete. She defo seems like one for the future. Along with Gemili, johnson-thompson and Jodie Williams(hasnt pushed on like I had hoped so far) enlish athletics has a bright future hopefully.

Can't believe that no one has addressed the most important question of these games......why would a good looking girl like Denise Lewis go out of her way to look so ridiculous by having her hair like that
