Great gold performance from Kelly Hodgkinson in the women’s 800 metres.

Great gold performance from Kelly Hodgkinson in the women’s 800 metres.

She was in charge of that field before the race even started, a real presence that only the greats have. Well done to her.

[McD]

Gold for Hodgkinson. Looked like Moraa was going to make a real race of it but it was never in doubt from about 80m out.


She is head and shoulders above the rest of that field, what a performance.

Looked so calm and in control, then coming off the bend just left them all behind

[Stairway 2 7]

Amazing performance

[Pretty Boy]

How good is Duplantis at the pole vault? He must fancy a shot at his own world record now.

[LancashireHibby]

Incredible performance from Keely. Feels like it’s been on the cards for the last four years. I live less than a mile from Leigh Harriers, it’s a great facility these days with hopefully more champions to come.

China had an 11 year old girl in the skateboarding!

[Bishop Hibee]

Women’s Park Skateboarding just finished. Incredible. Fantastic role models for young women everywhere and tremendous athletes.

[Pretty Boy]

Really looking forward to the 1500m tonight.

Ingebrigsten describing Jake Wightman as a 'lesser athelete' really irked Josh Kerr and he has been after him for the slight aimed at his mate ever since. The 2 are opinionated, confident bordering on arrogant and can't stand each other. Kerr has definitely irked the former and got him to bite on and off the track in the past but it's tonight that matters.

If I was pushed I'd say Ingebrigsten will edge it but it's going to be fascinating to watch.

Its a battle of two bellends. I think i slightly prefer the norwegian so i hope Kerr loses, hopefully with a degree of controversy. Pet tortoise wandering onto the track perhaps.

I think Kerr is great . He is going to look a bit daft though if his actions don’t match his words.:greengrin

[Jim44]

Josh Kerr seems a bit over confident and cocky. Ingerbrigsten is just as bad. I think Kerr will come a cropper.

[Pretty Boy]

Wow.

The two main protagonists got so caught up racing each other they missed the danger tanking up the inside. You could see Ingebrigsten was done from 300m out, was desperately looking up at the big screen approaching that last bend and was checking over his shoulder 200 out. Kerr had to be smarter. Think there was a bit of ego at play.

Great run from Hocker though. Timed hisbrun to perfection and never got into a battle too early.

[marinello59]

Brilliant race and well done to Hocker. Great run from him, timed that perfectly.

[Jim44]

Ha ha ….. the two cocky b**gers were so far up their ars*s that they thought it was all about them. I would have liked another gold but it was somehow satisfying.

[Pretty Boy]

Tbf I'm maybe being a bit harsh on Kerr. That was a PB and a British record; literally the best he has ever run.

He seems genuinely happy with his medal and was straight over to congratulate the winner. There is definitely a bit of game playing going on with him.

I still maintain 1500m is the hardest race going. The best part of a mile at a flat out pace. The training regimes of these guys is insane in terms of volume and intensity.

[Just_Jimmy]

Delighted he got beat. A total *****. Even better that the Norwegian got nout.

Well done to Hocker. A superb run, and Olympic record.

I don’t think Kerr did much wrong. I did think he may have seen Hocker coming through slightly too late but watching it back he had nowt left. It’s easier running through from behind, the American did that brilliantly .

[I'm_cabbaged]

The dick swinging competition didn’t go well for the both of them 🤣🤣 tbf Kerr seems delighted with the silver and PB, quite humble in that interview too!

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

A bit strong? Tbf I don't know him and haven't really followed him

3000M womens Steeplechase was a good race there just now

[hibsbollah]

Brilliant race and well done to Hocker. Great run from him, timed that perfectly.

:agree: massively disappointed at the non-appearance of the tortoise but as the two egoists managed to disappear up their own erchies, all is well in the 1500m world.

Though that decision was a bit harsh on him. Mexican guy was out on his feet with 90 seconds left.

I'm disappointed there hasn't been many electric Cubans so far this year. Usually you get 2 or 3 who are as slick as they come and light the place up. Seems to be the Dominican Republic stealing the show this year.

Was surprised that a couple of the judges had him winning first two rounds to be honest. Agree the Mexican tired and was surprised he got the final result though think was very tight over the three rounds.

[Jim44]

Having looked at the rerun of the end of the 1500 mtrs, Ingebrigsten actually gave Hocker the race. He was on the inside and he moved out almost into lane 2 to block Kerr but gave Hocker a free run on the inside. He had the stamina and opportunity to win on the inside and did well. If Ingebrigsten had stayed in the inside lane, Kerr would have won.

Exactly.
But Hocker gambled on that happening, he knew Ingebrigsten had to move wide to force Kerr to run further so I would say he took his chance rather then being handed it. At 200 m I called it for Hocker, he had the perfect position, at 100 I thought Kerr had it. By the end I thought Kerr was going to get Bronze rather than Silver. Race of the games so far.

[Hiber-nation]

I like Josh Kerr, he did all he could. Never heard of the guy who won it until I checked the odds just before the race, he was a distant 3rd in the betting which may raise questions considering the time.

[Jim44]

Just a wee unimportant aside on the BBC coverage, I find it exhausting listening to Paula Radcliffe. She talks so quietly and hesitantly, it makes me uncomfortable and strain to hear what she is saying.

I like Michael Johnson when it comes to analysis. No bull from him. When he thinks something is good then he'll say so, if he thinks someone got it wrong he will call it out.

I don't mind Paula Radcliffe. Her delivery is a bit grating but her analysis is usually pretty good and she definitely add things the layman might miss. It's something most athletics pundits do, little tells or tactical changes you might miss. It beats the football insight of 'what he's done there is hit a shot and it's hit the post'. Aye thanks we all saw that, very insightful.

Yep, totally agree about Johnson, he's very good at analysis and was one of the most brilliant runners of all time. It's always interesting listening on his take on races rather than only listening to the British perspective. Was really interested in what he had to say about one of the most fascinating races to come, the 400 metres hurdles for women.

Always enjoy listening to Michael Johnson, very knowledgable, and has a great way of sharing that, and helping you see little stuff.

It’s sometimes a bit funny listening to the beeb’s lead presenters talking about how successful the British guests were, like Denise Lewis or Jessica Ennis-Hill, which they are, but never mention they’re also sitting beside one of the most successful runners ever, and one time holder of a number of world records.

I also like that Johnson, and the others to be fair, are quite humble despite their achievements, and always shine the light on the current competitors. It’s not like that in some other sports

[ekhibee]

Fun and games in the 5000 metres heats and the British guy went after the French guy after the race. Don't really blame him, it looked like he was pushed but that's just my opinion.

Hell is the starter playing at?

Some of the holds have been ridiculous and that one in the women's 400m semi final was farcical😅

[Jim44]

Watching a fair bit of the Olympics this afternoon, I, surprisingly, got hooked on the men’s skateboarding. Not usually my cup of tea but the talent and skill on show was incredible.

[Pretty Boy]

What a race for the men's 400m final.

Hudson-Smith runs the 5th fastest time ever and gets silver. If you offered him that time this morning he'd have taken it and assumed he was getting gold.

Unbelievable run from Hall to pip him on the line.

[cabbageandribs1875]

For me she's probably the best all round athlete in the world, but I think she might move to the 400 flat. That's the 2nd time she's destroyed Bol, and anyone who watches athletics will know just how good Femke Bol is., she's a brilliant runner but McLaughlin is just unbeatable.

Interesting to see what she does.

She'd be brilliant over the flat but I wonder if that 49 second barrier over hurdles tempts her.

She was brilliant tonight; Bol is world class and was beaten from a mile out, it was mental as well as physical.

Looks like it is going to go to the wire as well. That final 800m must be absolutely exhausting mentally and physically.

Some would argue the biological females who missed out on a gold or a medal are victims too. It's such a shame for the boxer who probably didn't know she was biologically male until she was a teenager.

I probably er on chromosome testing, if you are biologically male you can't compete against females. Her and Caster Semenya as biological males could have male aspects in their body shape bone density ect, if there is a chance of an advantage its unfair. It can't just be on testosterone at a certain point unless you test every day from in utero.

I notice the Canadian 4 x 100 metre winners came out doing the x sign that the loosing boxers have started to do post defeat so I doubt this will go away.

Not sure about your last sentence. It's a criminal, rather than a civil, matter.
