Anybody watching the European championships , a bit of an odd one as they are holding swimming & cycling events in Glasgow while the athletics are being held in Berlin.

 

Athletics started today and GB won both the mens & womens 100 metres tonight with Dina Asher-Smith and Zharnel Hughes. They were actually a romantic item until recently.

 

Was reading an article by Katarina Johnson-Thompson saying that she had left Liverpool for a training group in France so they could all get the benefit of each others expertise , and pointing out that Kevin Mayer, the French world decathlon champion was based there. I assumed she meant that she would get better with his help but it is obviously working the other way around as he failed to register a valid long jump today and is out of the running for medals. All joking apart hopefully KJT does well when the Pentathlon starts.

Looking at the rest of her field events she would probably miss to be fair.

 

There was a funny story about her in the local press the other week where she had to apologise to her mum when she did an interview about what was the worst part of her moving to France and she said she missed her dogs.

I took a day off work today to get some holiday clothes and half the fucking roads in Glasgow are closed and the ones open are going to be rammed.

 

Fucking Lycra-cunts on bikes.

I’ve been having similar thoughts about festival tourists. There’s a thread in there somewhere
