    Wow. That is insane. Anyone who is doing what Michael Johnson did is worth keeping an eye on.

    I think Athletics really suffered from the non-event of last years Olympics with no crowds. Watching the last few days on the BBC website, there is clearly some massive talent out there, and some great GB athletes, male and female.

    At its best World Class Athletics is an amazing watch.

      Yeah I absolutely love it. It can be totally exhilarating, watching these almost super humans. I'll never forget Bolt tearing clear of world class fields to break the WR, and win golds. At London 2012 and when he ran 9.58 in 2009 I welled up...just find something really overwhelming about it.

        Cycling been cancelled for the day after this horrendous crash. Can’t have been good for the people in the crowd.

              That’s incredible isn’t it. Who’d have thought a rider & his bike could finish up in the crowd like that

                      That poor kid will never be able to look at an aerodynamic bike helmet again without having flashbacks!


                      The bloke to the left of them in white is looking pretty cool about it. The bloke in red to the right of the original pic - not so much

                        Vested interest, but this was class yesterday.

                        Also worth pointing out what a great servant to athletics broadcasting Steve Cram is. He provides amazing words and passion to all of the best athletic moments.

                          Amazing watching her outsprint the Kenyan in the last 100M.

                            I felt so, so old. She runs just like her mum too.

                              I think I was at Meadowbank the day Liz Lynch won in 86! But it’s so long ago I can’t remember for sure.

                              A proper dose of nostalgia and great to see a last lap shoot out on the track.

                                It was an amazing run.
                                It seems like only a few years ago since we all watched her mum do the same thing
