Shall we have a Commonwealth Games thread?

A 17 year old just won the 1500m. How is that possible??

 

5000 tonight Champ , He won the 1500 last night. Hard to compute that at 17 really.

 

Best sporting achievement by a teenager since Boris Becker's first Wimbledon ?

[Champ]

You’re right. I wasn’t on my game yesterday.

 

Another great evening tonight

A 17 year old just won the 1500m. How is that possible??

He ran faster than everyone else.

[Numero Veinticinco]

He ran faster than everyone else.

Probably just ran less slow than most slow people.

A 17 year old just won the 1500m. How is that possible??

 

He won the 5000m too, very convincingly. And an 18 year old Swede won the men's pole vault with a height only bettered by the legend that is Sergei Bubka.

 

The British sprinters have had an excellent championships, especially Dina Asher-Smith who got the gold medal hat-trick of 100m, 200m and 100m relay. Whether she can take on the Jamaicans and the Americans remains to be seen.

[Strontium]

Asher-Smith is setting world best times, I think she can definitely challenge on the global stage. Can't remember the last time we had a world class female sprinter.

[Champ]

But way more important than all of that, has creepy Phil finally been given the boot?

[Champ]

He ran faster than everyone else.

Funny man.

 

But physiologically? It’s an incredible achievement

Ingebrigtsen, Asher Smith and Duplantis were the highlights in athletics for me. As well as the Israeli who pegged it thinking she was on the last lap.

That was awful and hilarious at the same time but did get me thinking how do they count the laps in those longer distances

[sir roger]

You might have hoped the guy banging the biggest bell this side of a ship might have given her a clue.

 

Do agree with Champ that ' Creepy Phil ' was not missed at all.

[Champ]

But way more important than all of that, has creepy Phil finally been given the boot?

And for the record, I thought his replacement, Jeanette Kwakye, did a really good job
