World Athletics Champs 2013

Not interested in any doping chat, any athletics fans on here ?

Expecting a disappointing champ from a British perspective. Shame in commentary terms the excellence of Cram is paired with the uselessness of Foster.

Osagie and Runner go in their 800 heats in next 15 mins.

    BBC1 & 2 , guys. Morning session already covered and attended by one man & his dog ...

    Mo Farah due to run during half time at The Valley so we'll be able to watch it on the Big Screen.

    Steve Lewis failed to qualify at his opening height in the pole vault .

    Final event tonight will be heats of the Men's 100m inc Mr Bolt.

    Enjoy.

    James Dasaolu in the 100m has a chance of a medal.

    Uk athletics have pretty much admitted they expect little from the championships past farah. Perhaps that takes pressure of some and they more over perform. Think ohurogu (a name i spell incorrectly in a different way every time i type it) has a good chance though. The 100m guy, dasaolu will be in with a chance if he stays fit through multiple rounds.

    Just hope some spectators turn up for the later session.

    If he can get through 3 rounds fit.

    Think Farah will get our only golds.

    Shakes-Dreyton might get a bronze in the 400m hurdles and Ohurugou always seem to perform at the big events.

    I know he is quick, but I don't expect him to knock a good 10 mins off the 10,000m world record !

    Doh ! Tongue in cheek, AFKA !

    As if the Club would sully half time showing something slightly more exciting than what was on the pitch !

    Definitely think she won from the first replay where she dips her head and second place seems to lift off - Think her coach will be pushing the point home that you always dip when you get to the line regardless

    Hitting the 3rd hurdle hardly helped..typically British!

    I think that Ukraine guy will get the high jump WR at some point.

    Yep poor showing on the spectator side, not sure what the problem is, cost, lack of interest or what.

    Hannah England just ran a good race. Looking forward to the Commonwealths.

    Fantastic run by Gemili. He's really starting to look like he could be a challenger for medals in the future, especially now with Gay and Powell out of the sport as well. No Blake or Young at this Champs either so after Bolt and Weir, that bronze could be up for grabs with a bit of luck.

    Brilliant run from Gemili! His first year concentrating on 200m and he goes sub 20 seconds, also a brilliant interview afterwards and he seems like a very likeable chap

    Just about to put a "Congrats" card through his family's door down the road.

    What a fantastic young man and Dartford Grammar School for Boys will be rightly proud of him .

    Hoping we'll get a chance to see the final at 5pm tomorrow evening from "our" house in France .

    Come on Adam !!!!
