Inseine...Para-Oly commentary with spoilers

Yeah… guess they were first (sort of) though and did some ground breaking stuff in the studio paving the way for everyone to follow … or something. But yeah … unless you’re an avid fan

Isn’t it always the same layout?
Looks like vertical running, impressive but I must prefer to watch the bouldering and lead.

Is that for the duration of this event, or is every event always the same?

I’d always wondered that given they referred to “world record’s”.
Seems like it must surely get very dull very quickly.
I guess the same could be said for running 100m…

Cool details about Kerr Vs zIngerbiscuit in the 1500m

… “Kerr is all about details. He wore exactly the same kit as Wightman to try to spook Ingebrigtsen in Budapest. He’ll undoubtedly have something in mind this time”

He’s no a dafty

Race on Tuesday I think - it will def be worth watching

It was great to see. I wasn’t sure why he did it at the Olympics for free when he could do it at a Diamond League meeting for $$$$ - maybe it was because the king of Sweden was in the audience
