Mess @ this Run vs Walk race

I just turned it on, and wondered what was going on.

Phil Jones is leaving???? :amazed:

Eilidh running on to give him a gift bag leaving present :joker:

I'll lowkey miss his non-interviews though, here for them hiring another mess

2.40m jump for Barshim!!!

As usual this race is SO set up for Mo to win, such a weakened field with hardly any African contigent

"We're gonna head down there now for TWO goodbyes, one for Phil and one for Mo"

:joker:

well Hayden we got our answer to "what happened to Kaylin Whitney" bc she's anchoring a ****ty 4x1 at Zurich

YUP and she took off hella early and had to turn around and get the baton, I'm sure Dennis Mitchell taught her well :joker:

GB ladies ran a nice 41.86 though!

Mo Farah takes to the track for the final time tonight, in the Diamond league final at the legendary athletics track in Zurich.

Here for Kat finally winning her first senior global title

Greg Rutherford withdraws from Commonwealth Games

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/42776077

ladies did we know Brittney Reese had a Twitter fight with Cardi B last month?!?!

So Christian Coleman broke the 60m WR yesterday and Sharika Nelson broke the 60mH AR yesterday!

My favorite part as about Lolo Jones tweeting that Nelson's record "doesn't officially count" because it was at altitude and insisting that she "still has the true record" :joker: she since deleted the tweet and congratulated Sharika while also reminding us that she broke the AR when she won worlds.

Basically, Lolo Jones would be my choice for snatch game.

GB Team for the World Indoor Championships announced (it's another home games, this time in Birmingham):

I can't edit the thread title though </3

Also apparently Nafi Thiam and a couple other big Heptathletes aren't doing the World Indoors this year, so the title should be Kat's to lose, she just needs to not **** up this time.

Glasgow Grand Prix is live on BBC2 now
