Well done to Keely Hodgkinson on breaking the indoor 800m world record, which was set nearly 24 years ago, superb stuff.

Broke it by nearly a second as well. The record she broke was set on the day she was born.

I've just applied as a volunteer for the European Athletics Champs in August.

Just got tickets for session with women's 100m Final. A few seem to be selling out so you might want to move quickly if you want tickets.

That should be very enjoyable, especially with SQ bringing the beers to your seat.

Fuck off will I. Might just piss in some glasses and state all they are selling is Carling.

I certainly wouldn't order a chocolate milkshake.

It'll be just like normal watching women running away from you.

Yes, but some of them will be from fancy countries.

Was it CD who Sarah Mee had the restraining order against?

You've lost me (had to Google her).

Might have been Joe_C then.

Possibly, I think Elizabeth Olsen is more CD's cup of tea.

She's a handsome girl but probably relatively unlikely to participate in the European Athletics Championship.

Olsen sounds Nordic, I'm sure they can find a way to fit her in.

Popped the athletics on half an hour and Britain have won three golds in that time. Not bad.

Second placed Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha also ran in it in under 2 hours, amazing.

But could he do it on a wet Tuesday night in Bolton? 😁

As someone who now finds a 30.minute parkrun increasingly out of reach, a sub-2 hour marathon beggars belief.

It's easy when you're running through a lawless Islamist no-go area. The poor lad must've been terrified.
