World Athletics Championships 2017.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

These women shot putters, just fat birds who can throw a metal ball. Mind you, that Maggie Ewen would get a gig. 

[Jairzinho]

Hassan is absolutely ridiculous.

I am sure I've seen Sophie McKinna in 'This Country'.

Incredibly talented, but I would be suspicious given her links with Salazar.

 

That Nike sponsored juice works wonders.

What are your thoughts on Farah? I’ve not been following it closely but surely his success now has an asterisk beside it?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

That was some time from Naser in the 400m. Miller-Uibo ran fast as well to come second.

I really want to believe he's clean, but you don't make a jump from middle of the pack in your late 20s to the most dominant championship athlete in history in your 30s in this sport.

 

I remember a fellow athlete with a lot of American connections telling me about how Nike athletes would deliberately have their thoyroids surgically altered so they would qualify for the medication which contained an anabolic steroid. This was years before this all came out in that BBC documentary.

[Bjornebye]

Come on Katarina 

[Bjornebye]

Get in girl!!!!! 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Get in KJT, made up to bits for the young lady. World Champion both Indoors and Outdoors. 

[Chocoholic]

Wow! Katarina's a double World Champion! Very well deserved and long and hard worked for

[Creator Supreme]

Get in KJT!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Let it all out baby. Bottle it and remember that feeling for your future tournaments. Best score this year as well from anyone. British record holder as well. What a time to peak. 

[Em City]

Brilliant from KJT to finally break that mental barrier and get a global title. 

 

Hopefully she can do the business in Tokyo next year.

[moof]

Immense performance from KJT. What an athlete. Felt a bit emotional when she was powering down that final straight

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I got all emotional myself as she let the tears out. Kind of a lesson that you should never give up on your dreams despite all the knocks. There's a great Film in her story. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Fantastic KJT, watched you suffer now nice to see you smile. Did Liverpool proud.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Not been watching the athletics, but had an alert on my phone

 

Made up for KJT.

 

She's had a motherfucker of a journey to get here.

 

An inspiration to us all, never mind any other athletes.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fantastic second day for the young German, Kaul in the Decathlon. Becomes the youngest World Champion ever. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Love how the multi eventers all crowd together and congratulate each other at the end. 

[Dougie Do'ins]

Will there be any highlights of todays/nights action on the TV ?

I believe they have some sort of round up, not sue what channel it will be on though. Currently showing the Athletics on BBC 4, so it might follow the scheduled broadcast. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Great interview. The girl is hungry. 

[sir roger]

Had a little bit of grit in my eye after the heptathlon finished.
