Happy Hull Held on. A Kenyan sweep wouldn't bring me any joy.

Chapeau to Faith, we've another couple of years of her hopefully.

5000m will be epic

Healy got stuck behind Johnson, I was hoping he would go with Hailu.

Healy's improvement year on year has been immense - not just in terms of medals and times and finals - she has gotten way tougher.

Good on her, she'd make you proud to be Irish.

Yup, go back a few dozen pages and everyone on here was pulling their hair out at her.

Even her interview was more analytical and measured than we're used to from her

She has a great opportunity at Euro outdoors

Only getting to see this now. Wasn't Mcphilips good! Had that 'this is my time' look to him. English smart as well. Just saw the 1500. A little disappointing from Sarah H. She did her best work in May and June. She should really be beating the two ahead of her, at least.

She will be a little disappointed that one or two PB’d ahead of her as on paper she’d have expected to beat them but it’s been a great year for her.

Similar to a few more, hopefully her funding goes up now to the top tier and she gets that added bit of support - even though her setup seems strong already and the Nike support with it.

She's on top funding since Euro Indoors AFAIK

Yup, really notable across all disciplines.

Early season success does not make a champion

Michael Johnson has blood on his hands from a US perspective

Lads, what have Paddy Power for Botswana in the 4*4?

They seem to have enjoyed it

What I've also liked is shots of teammates celebrating their compatriots medals. I know it's natural enough but great to see such joy for the success of others.

Yeah I thought these snaps of Beamish and El Bakalli fucking about in the water jump were great too. Particularly after El Bakalli's face punching at the finish
