English winning today is the first ever victory by an Irish male in the Diamond League - I wonder who will get the second?

English won the Birmingham DL in 2019.

The auld Athletics Historians at AI totally jumped the gun on that.

According to Cathal Dennehy the 800m in Birmingham was a non DL event.

Another slap to the curb for me

I watched the race again a few time this morning. LOL, even in the replays I think he's not going to make it. Supreme tactical run.

The poor lad on the inside has the fist raised in victory an' all- then the look of horror on his face as the Donegal man dips ahead of him. Class.

Here ye go lads, have a chew on this. Looks like Mondo is the GOAT, with Sawe just behind him.

Mawdsley opening up tonight in Savona.

She could win this given her form in Botswana

She should win it - she often struggles though to transfer her relay form.

She'll need to get over that no question.

Paris Peoples is no slouch has a world gold in the relay from last year.

Diggs' too but her pro career has underwhelmed so far really
