Just watched the women's 10,000 m . What a finish . It must be hard to follow such a successful mother . Well done Eilish

I got thrillz watching that. And some tears.

Is middle distance running THE best thing in athletics? Is it coz I grew up with Coe/Cram ...

I didn't put a link in Vic, does the site do that of it's own accord?

Tere are a number of names or abbreviations which have an auto-link set up. That is one of them. As is the countries' favourite "bike" shop

Just out of curiosity I googled the Welsh swimmer who was taking part in the games, Medi Harris and indeed she was born in September. (Medi is Welsh for September).

I think I had a lucky escape, if my parents had applied the month of birth name I would have been called Chwefror!! (February)

Good ride from Fred Wright in the TT ... some quality still to come, Rohan Dennis, Geraint Thomas, should be a good one

That sounds quite a nice name - at least people wouldn't think you were Russian!

Just out of interest who came third, I assume the two New Zealand chaps came one and two but then there was a three way battle for third. Unfortunately with half a lap to go the All Inclusive BBC discriminated against those of us without a Smart TV and switched the finish to iPlayer!

It switched to BBC two. As they announced.

Don't forget Peter Elliott.

I hope Steve Ovett doesn't look at this forum.....

At the end of the day, no-one can beat Steve Cram when it comes to saying "Champion"!

Crash and now a bike change for G ? Must be out of contention now ?

Shame for Geraint. Suppose he has to be happy with a bronze after the fall.

Would have been close if G had stayed upright . Super ride from Fred big gap to 4th

Very close! That's a tricky TT course for sure ... wonder what the Warwick road race is like? G should go well, fingers crossed.

Off to the Athletics tomorrow evening... 👍

Seeing as the route is right on my doorstep (party in the front garden to watch about 400m from the finish line) I can comment. The route is terrible, all the roads I that are used by local cyclists to get out of the area to more interesting roads. It will include tight roundabouts, speed humps, potholes and is basically flat. Should be a good race.
