Birmingham CWG - Day 2 (Wednesday August 3rd)

Looking at the video I can't see how it won't - clearly going out several times.

Woah... Emmanuel Korir has been DQ'd for a lane infringement! MHS medal prospects improve even further if the DQ stands.

Fantastic knowledge!

Mweresa - I put the kenyan as I didn't want to have to check the spelling!

I'll be watching the European Championships on the eurovision sports tv channel, which has dedicated streams for all the sports. And no silky smooth gabfest, although there may be Meadowsspeak :-)

I like it ....Meadowspeak...she was not at her worst last night for the world U20. She has requested all other athletes in all competitions be called smith

Blimey the kenyan looked super easy there

Meanwhile, Samukonga, puts everything on the line to smash his lifetime best with a 44.89, in possibly the fastest 400m flat run by a Zambian since the days of Samuel Matete (Indeed, it is just 1/100th off the 44.88 NR Matete set 31 years ago in Rieti! It's also an age 19 best for his nation.)

What happened?

I assume its Korir you speak of

[marilyn1]

Webb & Learmonth into the final ... Two British men not screwing up an 800m semi ... Bloody hell !

😁😁😁these things will happen

The young Zambian Samukonga breaks 45 but appears to have broken himself a little!

[SprintRelayFan]

Oh he just won the race, looked very easy doing it to me. MHS through easily as well though

What happened?

Going to be a British Athletics Commentator Shortage on Saturday as well, with the DL from Poland.

That meet and Monaco will be fascinating after a WC.

Hopefully for the European Championships they'll have all the world feeds on the iPlayer like they have here. That will depend on their contract with the European Broadcasting Union though.

I think the Beeb will show the Women's 10,000 live, likely with pre-race Eilish montages thrown in and a healthy (?) dose of unrealistic discussion about her gold medal chances!

Hope you are right especially as the sprints are on tonight.
