Nothing better than a good pole vault contest is there Hella impressive from Duplantis
He’s so good! Really happy for him, the TV and I both really cheered for him when he cleared it.
Really enjoy watching the lower placed runners leg it for the marginally higher prize money
He’s nuts. So much space over the bar
Handsome Swedish pole vault child is good huh
Speed on that final leg
Love those trumpet lads
Dina Asher Smith just seems like a lovely lovely person
‘Bolt-esque’
really glad they have Johnson there to gently burst every GB hype bubble
Still so much hype though. Eurosport is so much better for coverage.
Yeah. Quite like some of the BBC commentators but they spend way too much time talking shite in the studio. Think athletics is the only sport I follow where I do tend to root for the British athletes tho, mainly cos of familiarity and there being so many competitors at a meet that it’s impossible to know all of them
Great bunch of championships these. Feels a bit like the olympics
Wonder what’s happened to the Czech relay team?
I have a massive soft spot for some of the commentators, and think that Irvine and Roslin do a great job of presenting, but bin off everyone other than Johnson in the studio pls, and Paula Radcliffe and Steve Cram
Guliyev on the final leg there. Mad speed
Really wanna see that split time, looked insane
Obviously all on the sauce, but British athletes are at least likeable compared with the cyclists/footballers/tennis players etc
‘Fringe’ sports tend to have way more personality involved. you’d have to have a personality to be a hammer thrower or pole vaulter
