Could easily have been Jakob TBPHWY

Lucky it wasn’t Sha’carri - I’d have been diving for cover - the first man ever physically intimidated by a five foot cardboard cutout

Terrier has obviously been a little too effusive in his admiration of the bould Femke.

Well, well, the DL at Rabat. Coscoran gave himself much too much to do. Poor third lap with a strong finish to claim 5th I think. I didn't get the time as the system had a mini meltdown. Not great from English. Bergin looked fantastic TBF. El Bakkali and the German lad in a super 3k steeple.

Nurmi Games tonight - Griggs, McIlhenney and Fay in the 5000. Doyle in the 1500.

Bakkali's understudy, Tinoufdi in the steeple

Rome is where it's at this week though - that's a strong lineup for Mark English in the M800

Sarah Healy makes her 2026 bow in the W5000 - in with Battocletti and around 300 Ethiopians

Decent field for Keely Hodgkinson to measure against in the W400 - Klaver, Pryce, Anning, Bukoweika

Defo a shoot the lights out in the W100 where Guapo's beor will try to get back on track against Alfred, Asher-Smith, Battle and Jefferson-Wooden

Between Hiltz and Hunter-Bell in the W1500 (was Healy avoiding her training partner?)

Tebogo would want to make a go of it in the 100 - Lylesy right there beside him like...

Griggs stepped off with a lap to go.

He was on for a 13:10 FFS

McEllhenny dies at 10:30 mins or so also a DNF are they protecting ranking averages or something?

Great show from the Gerries

Man, I fucking saw that on a YT livestream. I couldn't believe what I was watching. I mean it was obvious the guy was starting to fade (3rd to 6th) but DNF at 4,600 metres. The optics ain't great.

Big fine incoming

Big fine incoming

doubt it. it looks like the whole field bar the five kicking at the bell DNFd

I've never seen that before I reckon

Edit. Official results different to the one they showed.

Still 7 DNFs with all the prominent next best fellas like Leonard and Foppen. Still weird
