all look like blokes

The most farcical race in history.  Even the Men's 100 metres final in Seoul was more 'dignified' than that.

3 of the 1st 4 home couldn't produce a pair of tits between them,

"the mens relay team look like a boy band"

all they need are four stools and they'd be flying without wings

Men's 1500m Final 

Tim Cheruiyot (Ken) is the best value at 8s. I believe he's as good as the two short Kenyan favs.
Semi winner Holusa (Cze) 12s is worth a medal saver.

B_M

kiprop runs properly he wins

this is the kind of race there could be an upset from either: lewandowski, mikhou, ingebritsen

Brendan Foster always reminds me of Colin in The Brittas Empire.

Did he not break the Olympic 10000m record in the heats, which then stood for the next 4 or 5 olympics?

kibrop is not the force of old

cheriyot has ran the fastest splits so far so if he's got a sprint finish he'll win

great race

Outside chance for a medal ......quality work from the tv pundits.

Chris O'Mare

lots of free money in these track events

Think Steve Cram could still beat our runner even now.

4x400Mw - GB top 3 - free money 1.50

bring back tom mckean

scrap it the nigerians could be a threat

smart tactics from the Kenyans there ensuring it wasn't a tactical race

That Hero bloke will be going over that balcony if he's not careful

i thought he was going over

Has Greg R managed some of those all-important 'earners' during the Championships?

Women's 4x400m Relay Final

GB medal is a bit risky at 1.5

I believe Zoey Clark is first up and she's pretty slow.
Get behind in the 4x400m and it's hard to make up.

But there's no value anywhere. Should go to form and betting.

USA get the baton round and they'll win

someone's dropping the rhubarb

Very few DQs or DNFs in 4x400m

brits struggling

Fine 2nd leg

last leg vital here for GB

Brendan drone foster his commentaries tonight as wrong as they were, on the day at he started,he couldn't inspire a kamakazi pilot to kill himself

SILVER GIRLS

Emily did well

crazy jamaica went out how good are jamaica without the juice

Truly great to see Jamaica struggling at these Championships.

Lol, B_M.

Silver!

Great stuff from GB ladies

Even money for the men to secure 4x Relay Medals, which would be some effort

Nielsen has nice shorts

What s*** camera control work going on in the video room, couldn't see what was going on after the American's crossed the line it didn't focus back on the action

injuries galore! must be something in the Lilt

they're only bothered about the brits

poland ran a great race

Poland had a good championships

Did it say world record?

no - about 4 secs off the WR

400m ladies your CBEs are being sketched up as we speak

Watching athletics is very addictive.

Men's 4x400m Relay.

T&Tobago could start usefully and may go lower than 18s IRunning

But the only matter about this race is Team Borlee in the outside lane!

Good luck to Team GB for a possible 4x relay medals

I want to watch part one of The Dark, but will watch the end of this first.

Indeed, it should be on more often and promoted more. Needs a real shake up to make it it more popular like football and 20/20.

diamond league is on every week on eurosport and repeated on bbc 2 every saturday

Couldn't we just send Mo Farah around 4 times here.

Wow Michael Johnson plays down the USA Team
and they drift from 1.1 to 1.3.

1.3 is virtually the bet of the whole Championships

Crisp!

USA so far

TRINIDAD!!

haha MJ gonna be pissed with that

Like dynamite

some burned banks

We have done awfully well in all the relays

Yes, I hadn't realised we were so good.

Pretty sure USA were 1.01 IR

6 medals for GB may be fine Steve, but 4x of them were in Relays

nice to see the yanks get beaten

1.3 is virtually the bet of the whole Championships

Oh!

1.3 is virtually the bet of the whole Championships


Fingers crossed no-one made it their ACTUAL bet of the  whole Championships.

I can't believe that Rooney has delivered a much-needed medal.

Kerly's PB is nearly a second better than the T&Tob guy
plus he had a few yards headstart.

Shocking run

Good job the team events exist  , otherwise it is 2 medals for a bloke retiring , who despite having a medal haul second to none finishes out with the washing in SPOTY year after year.

Plus Kerly is a second and a half better in 2017

It's a case of Kerly, what's he doing?

well it's been an absolute pleasure

13 individual 4th - 6th place finishes for GB.  Strength in depth but no stars (Mo apart)

Team GB do us proud even when they don't win

No androgynous folk running as female either

Jamaica pulling a hamstring in the women's relay proved costly for me.

Been quite a few pulled muscles this Championships...

great sporting entertainment over the last week and a half

slower times maybe, but better contests

400m relay boys and girls not sure we can do an OBE but we can definitely sort out some topshop/topman vouchers for ya

only whilst watching the womens high jump

mixed raced bird in our relay team is gorgeous

the us anthem sounds like the plusnet advert

brendan foster it's the tax man

Laviai Nielsen for searches hamster.

Thanks...a 'talent' for sure

Take heed from the 400m and don't go off too early.

Qatar in 2 years....... in August??

Crowd will be a handful of locals and a couple of camels

It was Bahamas who won the  4by4 in 2012 Michael not Trinidad.  I backed them

Qatar 28th September to 6th October 2019

September 28 2019

will still be fkin boiling

all the roids have fried his long-term memory

In 2021 it's going to a city I've never heard of in Oregon....with a capacity crowd of 21,000 that will undergo transformation to increase it to.....30,0000, doesn't seem big enough to me to hold a Worlds.

They were awarded it rather than won it, this seems to be happening a lot lately, cities pulling out of Olympic and World Championships bids because they can't afford it, and the commonwealth games, which I think should be scrapped altogether anyway.

Eugene is the home of Nike and Lord Coe was up to his usual tricks

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/nov/24/sebastian-coe-role-eugene-2021-bidding-process

didn't know that, so Doha and then Nike Town, a bit soulless.

The circus has left town, Bolt has bolted, Mo has moved on, women's medals are around the necks of anyone who fancies calling themselves a woman, but perhaps the key question of this (or any other World Championships) remains unresolved : 

Did Greg R make a nice few quid out of any commercial opportunities that may have come his way last week?

I worry about the lad's financial wellbeing. Let's all hope that some far-sighted, public-spirited, philanthropic company dug deep in their pockets to secure the services of the Great Man for a few days, surely the finest human ever to run for a bit and then jump in some sand.

He was working for Eurosport throughout the championships.

Thank you.
