Yep the worlds are occurring right now in London

Bolt's last competitive outing (supposedly, these guys never stay retired). He has his first heat in about an hour and a half. Also Mo Farah's final track meet, he'll be going for double 10k/5k gold again. 10k starts in a couple hours.

Other stuff to watch out for: Dafne Schippers in the 100m and 200m. Hot dutch white (!) sprinter chick that is defending her silver in the 100 (!!) and gold in the 200 (!!!).

van Niekerk, the bloke that broke MJ's 400m record in Rio will be trying to be the first to go under 43 seconds.

Unfortunately David Rudisha (the 800m megagoat) is injured

Melissa Bishop, canuck 800m runner. omg. dunno if shes any good but omg

Russians are still BAND

Unfortunately there are no scheduled events featuring cobbles

is there a STREAM

if you can con bbc into thinking you're british then that's a great stream option. otherwise i duno where to find one

How many Ethiopian quasi-slaves starting for Azerbaijan and the likes?

not sure. i had a look at the odds for all events to see the handful of faves for each event and only spotted one qatari with a suspiciously african looking name

They change names once they start for turkey etc tho!

shaming the great nation of cameroon

Still maintain they should rip off cycling in two respects and have :

Pursuit - start opposite side of the track to your opponent, whoever catches the other guy first wins

Unknown distance race - organisers randomise some number of laps between, say, 3 and 15, runners only know how many when the bell rings

Both probably work better indoors tbqh

Mo vs Africa should deliver tonight

gatlin BOOOOd

bolt up next

hmm he won his heat but didn't look brilliant, 10.08

looks like they are gonna push the pace rather than running it slow and letting him win like they usually do

Reminder Mo Farah is a cheat unlike the rest of these guys and gals

heroic british distance runner mo farah looking pretty comfortable so far

Mo showcasing GOATNESS

fella at the front giving it full beans

Come on Mo.

MO

bastards tried to trip him! ban kenya!

Is Mo the first knight to win a WC gold?

britain top of the medal table!

may as well close the games now cos its all downhill from here

radcliffe always sounds like she's just about to expire

There all on drugz : thumb:

The funniest part of them all taking drugs is that even when they find a new test as in Sydney etc they still only out certain Athletes and I know of one Australian they accidently lost/ misplaced the old test material. It would have been the greatest shaming of Australian Sport ever.

Mo and Bolt will both be safe.

i reckon austrailia's sustained very poor performance across all sports over the last 15 or so years is the greater shaming

if i'm thinking of the right person, she's like the best one who isn't a man
(finished 4th in Rio with a great time)
