Should have started a thread earlier- if anyone’s interested! 

But couldn’t resist after that run from Josh Kerr.

Absolutely phenomenal 👏👏

No it’s 7.45, you were probably looking at European timing/scheduling.

Chance of 3 medals tonight, 800m and 2 relays. Lake at high jump would be an outsider. 

Bugger. Perhaps left a bit too big a gap.

Silver not too bad though.

She does need to get a Gold...

Half a fucking second

That's the reality of races at these distances - half a second doesn't sound much but it really is

But it's good to see Leigh Harriers' name on the telly

I ran for Leigh from 1974 - 1991

Superb effort by the 400m relay team.

Anchor bloke ran away from the world champion to secure a bronze.

Brilliant effort.

Yeah, really impressive

I think they changed from their usual order as well

Matched by the ladies.

A couple of our team do incredibly well considering they have sizeable attributes. 

Cracking advert for sports bras.

Really enjoyed these champs. 10 is a good medal haul 👏

1500 then progressed to marathons as they were becoming all the rage

The women's 4x400m relay team has just broken the national indoor record

Bolton's Hannah Kelly running the third leg

Joey Barton will have loved it last night.

4 presenters, all female.

Pole vaulter has suffered a horror injury to her ankle.

Reportedly an open fracture. Grim.

European, not Worlds...

She is a great athlete, hope she gets Gold in Paris....

Sorry my mistake, you are right, she deserves it 

I think she said she ran her lifetime best?

She controlled the race well but missed the opportunity to send a message to her Olympic rivals, but was slower than in her semi-final.

And the runner-up came from fourth to second in the last 100, halving the lead. Next time she will try to be closer when the action really starts.

She ran her lifetime best in Eugene, Oregon, last September (1:55.19). She also ran 1:55.78 there last month in her only 800 this season before the European.

This year is her best opportunity to win in the Olympics because Phoebe Gill is a sensational runner. She was about the same level as KH at ages 12 and 13 but by 15 she was matching KH's times at 17. At 16 Gill was matching KH at 18. Keely's breakthrough came at 19. Gill's 17th birthday was in late April and she has run 1:57.86 in Belfast and 1:58.08 in Manchester holding on to win on each occasion after sensationally fast opening laps.
