Looking forwards to this. Mo Farah has the 10000m tonight and we see Bolt in his heat as well. So much else to look forwards to well so will be accessing the webpage to plot my viewing over the next week.

Women's 1500m lineup is

 

[Braulio]

Daniel Stahl, 67.64 in the Discus Throw Qualification, guy is inspired to take a medal, could be gold

Philip Milanov, 2015 world silver medalist, is in danger of not advancing, currently 8th on his group and with Group B to come he might be out of the final

 

[Lorac]

So Gatlin is still running is he - boo!!! But that kid Coleman looked good in his heat!!

 

[Braulio]

Jeff Henderson, 2016 Olympic Champion in the Long Jump is OUT of the final with one jump to go...

 

[Lorac]

Jeff Henderson, 2016 Olympic Champion in the Long Jump is OUT of the final with one jump to go...

He jumped big on his fouled 2nd try and then missed the board by a good 6 inches on his 3rd and final attempt and so missing the qualifying length!!

 

[Braulio]

So the americans out, world indoor champion (Dendy) and olympic champion (Henderson)

2013 World Long Jump Champion russian Aleksander Menkov is making a comeback at this championships (competing as neutral of course)

 

[Lorac]

Gatlin being booed in the Stadium when winning his heat!!

Followed by a huge cheer for Bolt!!

 

[skatefan]

Bolt is a giant compared with the others

 

[Lorac]

Bad start from Bolt but he still wins without having to run out flat. But he wasn't happy with that run!!

 

[allezfred]

Bolt having an issue with his blocks.

The booing would almost make you feel bad for Gatlin. Almost.

 

[Lorac]

Crowd going mad for Mo

 

[SHARPIE]

Wheeee! Loving everything already

Sadly I'm working a lot the next week. But hey, I work in a bookmakers and get paid to watch sport!

Super Saturday - 5 years ago today too.

 

[skatefan]

I'm having palpitations just watching Farah

 

[Lorac]

This is a tough 10000m race. Can Mo do it?!?!

 

[Lorac]

I'm screaming at the TV again - just like I did 5 years ago!!!!!

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! That was a race!!! Go Mo

 

[skatefan]

Mo is awesome

 

[SHARPIE]

THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

 

[floskate]

So amazing!!! Can this man finally win Sports Personality of the Year now?

 

[Lorac]

The crowd were fantastic - roaring him home!!!

 

[skatefan]

So amazing!!! Can this man finally win Sports Personality of the Year now?

I hope so, he absolutely deserves it.

 

[allezfred]

That was some race! The others really tried to challenge Farah, but he still won.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Is Mo Farah planning on retiring or just moving to the marathon? I wonder how good he will be at that distance.

I do think that the 5K will be a tougher win for Farah.

2012 Olympic Champion Jenn Suhr OUT in the pole after getting a NM in qualifying. But honestly, she hasn't looked good at all since the 2016 Olympic Trials.

Working for me in Canada, thanks.

Awesome 10,000 - that really did look like Mo's greatest ever test!

You can also try Hola if you have geoblock problems - it works fine for me on Google Chrome.

 

[SHARPIE]

I fancy Seb Coe

 

[Lorac]

Crowd did an awesome job singing the anthem - loved it!!

So men's 100m final tomorrow - can Bolt do it as well - and the heptathlon starts as well.
