Er, and because her coach was just banned for 4 years.

Great run from Hawkins in the marathon overnight. I don’t think there was ever a chance of him getting a medal, but he’ll have scared a few people on the way in his attempt to avoid a sprint finish.

I think that the Olympics will have a stronger field though, as quite a few of the top runners skipped this race in favour of Berlin. A top 5 finish should be the target.

Pretty sure that javelinist just dislocated his shoulder

If only Lynsey Sharp had been around in those days - she’d have managed to get rid of her.

Ach, they were in last place anyway and weren’t expected to do anything. I feel sorry for the anchor leg though, he didn’t get a chance to get involved.

Kipchoge then. 1:59.40 marathon. Amazing scenes

Those shoes though. It’s equivalent to a 2:06 in plimsolls.

You joke, but there is some big talk amongst sports scientists about this

How big we talking here?

Like massive

It’s pretty interesting

Word is a pair of custom Nike shoes could be worth as much as 6% efficiency gain over the next best pair. They’re not even available to all Nike contract athletes, let alone anyone else, so they’ve not been validated beyond the rumour mill though.
