ā¦made it upright in the end
Shame more didnāt go with the pace early on so they got a bit more of the action.

Looks like 35-40km was the killer for Adams.

Physio was telling me the world champs marathon guy knocked out a 28min 10k between 30 and 40k I think!!
Has the 2021 games and then very recent world champs (athletics and swimming) made the commonwealth champs a bit of a pointless or second rate exercise? Only 18 men in the marathon. Seems crazy.

Worldās, Commies then Euros all within a month is going to dilute the fields, especially for the Brits who donāt have much depth to start with.
Bit disappointed that Jonny Mellor didnāt try to go with the early pace, heās good enough to be there or thereabouts when bronze is won in 2:13

Walked out of the office toward the pool past an open air screen just as Yee caught up with Wilde! Perfect.
Watched the full replay last night, what an effort.
Ladies wouldāve been great too but Duffy was a bit of a no brainer for the run.

Yeah but in Jake Weightmanās case - if heās in the form of his life - heāll get three titles in the space of 3 months? (Europeans next) Then just has to go to olympics and get the grand slam. Spotty/ Knighthood here he comes lol
Imagine being a reigning World, European and Commonwealth gold medalist 
Colin Jackson was that wasnāt he - but eluded him at the olympics - didnāt he get a silver?

ā¦ Yeah I see he ran a 2:10 this year

In an interview I just saw Mellor said it was the toughest marathon course heās ever run

Just seen that NZ are appealing the Wilde penalty. Apparently it could take up to 30 days to get a decision and if successful heād be awarded a dual gold with Yee.
He says his bike was racked but he used it to lean on whilst changing. Not sure how that sits with letter of the law.
