I think the women’s team sprint record is probably a bit soft because they’ve only switched to the 3 rider format in the last couple of years

he says “ko expert”- clever if deliberate hidden shorthand for “kind of”. Or many just a lucky typo?

I was a bit confused as to why everything was running 25mins late last night & all you guys were appearing to be sport seers.
Obvs, I’d forgotten that I’d paused coverage earlier in the evening when I went off to do some chores.
(ETA, as I went to bed they seemed to have DQd the wrong lass in the 5000, has this been rescinded?)
Answer is yes, thanks Google .

Good to see the Team GB went cheap and got some knock off Sergio Tacchini from the Turkish sector in Nicosia.

If you read nothing else today, just read this fab bit of writing about Duplantis world record vault jump.

I’ll never click a Guardian link and that’s not changing today either but I did watch all the vaulting last night and it was an amazing atmosphere.
Nobody left the stadium and the other vaulters were absolutely willing him on. It was brilliant to watch.

Just read it mate - it’s a superbly written article with a different slant on the vault. No politics, nothing untoward, just a great sports article.

He’s been saving that for this event, though.
Which sort of takes the shine off.
I mean, let’s forget when he had the WC won last year and went for it a few times as his last jumps.
And the Beatles are utterly shite. They would not win Eurovision. Ergo, the article is utter tripe.

Beatles the most overrated Band in history? Who actually listens to their stuff who wasn’t young in the 60s? 80-90s music however, still remains popular with young people even now, and is influencing modern producers…
