Like watching the athletics but no interest in Team GB whatsoever. Unfortunately BBC at their worst with this - Britishness hyped up beyond belief - their presentation tema is simply fooking woeful - Gabby Logan etc - makes you want to peuk.

Love to see Farah get tonked - detest the little fukker with that stupid mobot shyte they all themselves over.

Mon big Usain.

The women's heptathlon is very enjoyable. ..always love the slow motion high jumps !

And Jessica Ennis and Katerina Johnson are particularly good viewing :)

And I for one like watching Gabby Logan. She can look well fit

I hope to Gatlin leathers golden boy Bolt, if only to hear the howls of horror from the numpties who actually think that this "sport" is not just a competition of drug cheats fueled (and ruined) by money.

If you want to see a relatively level playing field, probably best stick to watching amateur sports. IMHO :)

I wasn't enamoured with Mo's race at all.

I don't like how he seems to mock the other runners. ..which is how it came over to me as he ran past the kenyans

Also was surprised to see his team mate still competing after the allegations against him in particular.

And one thing that always always bugs me with individual sports like athletics is why do they have national teams at all ???

Mo was not competing for Britain (or even Somalia) but purely for himself.

In fact it was clear his actual team mate was the American. ..

The sport going ahead should get rid of nationality. .and only allow athletes who have been repeatedly tested ever since they start competing as juniors.

And yes the farce of Gatlin et al must never be allowed again.

And back to the actual running. ..disgusted to hear the commentators praising Gatlin just now as "the perfect sprinter" ... perfect repeated cheat more like who dishonours the whole event and makes this particular championship totally invalid (although it's far from unique on that regard of course)

Were you at the game, caller?

Mo ran an impeccable race up against three Kenyans, running as a team. They pushed the pace (65 sec laps) which was enough to drop everyone, including the Ethiopians, but not Mo and Rupp. Mo kept trying to take the lead, so he could slow the pace, but the Kenyans wouldn't let him. Of course Rupp and Mo worked together, as neither of them had a team mate that could hang with that so4t of pace.

In the final 600 Mo out kicked everyone, Rupp and one of the Kenyans blew up.

Great race, good to see the Kenyans working together but in the end it wasn't enough. Mo ran a perfect race and has confirmed himself as one of the greatest championship racers of all time.

And I am not even particularly a fan of Mo Farrah.
