Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

After a couple of years of damp squibs from mo I was definitely pleased to see that result, a step in the right direction. Eilish great, of course. Purdue clearly had a significant dose of covid to be three minutes off, but still she's a gutsy runner; hope she's not taking risks with long term health.

She ran the World Champs (DNF) with COVID so can imagine that wouldn't have a great effect.

That said, she's run this race 4 times including today based on PO10 and this is her second fastest here. She did win the other three and I presume fairly easily so the times are likely not representative.

61:50 is national class, but a far cry from international class that are running 3 mins faster than that. Hes still a fantastic runner, but I dont think we will see him winning any big events again. Hope he does, but I just don't zee it.

I'm guessing watching diamond League live tonight is going to be a struggle? Can't see it on Eurosport and doesn't look to be streaming live on YouTube. Obvs events elsewhere are dominating the BBC.

I did just try the direct link on iPlayer and it is the coverage you expected.

Indeed. Again it's already all waffle.

Yes, I had some hopes that the iplayer feed would provide a cunning route to normality.

One channel would be fine. Watch if you want. Otherwise continue. The sun will rise.
