Birmingham CWG - Day 2 (Wednesday August 3rd)

[marilyn1]

Kenyan sprint gold and Sri Lankan bronze!

Hopefully not an injury for NMB, think he stumbled out the blocks then looked done.

amazing no caribbean athlete in the final and NO jamaicans. Wow.!

[marilyn1]

Daryl Neita is going to go sub 10.9 in the final. Book it.

You meant sub 11.20 i think. Well done for bronze but she was clearly disappointed in her run.

[marilyn1]

Ahem! Oh ye of little faith!

Shes so emotional now - she needed this for the belief…

Be serious . the win, though nice for her and congrats doesnt propel her into some top position in the world suddenly; her opposition was pretty meagre in this competition. Nobody knows what next year will bring, but pleasing to see her PB in the Javelin.

[marilyn1]

Ack Daryll just got left in the blocks I think. Still a medal I think

her start will have to improve to become a winner; she looks very good when she is the front and she has great final 40 metres.

[Chafford1]

Great evening of athletics overall.

A pity great Neita got left at the start : the way she finished it would have been interesting to see what colour medal she could have had if she had got away OK... And perhaps a pity she isn't doing the 200 !

[alfie]

ah...why did you have to suggest that might happen ?

[Ursus]

My worry for Neita is having Alfred & Hobbs outside her. Could well get left out the blocks and tighten up.

Could you do my lottery numbers please?

[Grassmarket]

I think there’s a Gold for her at the Europeans, so don’t overcook it.

[Occasional Hope]

Daryll picked up well in the latter part of the race. It's a shame she's bailed on the 200, I think she has unrealised potential there.

[SprintRelayFan]

Bit of a shame Daryll isn't doing the 200 with that second half of the race.

[Chafford1]

Late evening cooler temperatures?

[Chafford1]

Poor start by Neita let her down.

[DerbyCountyinNZ]

10.95 with +0.4!? That looks like a dodgy wind reading, they all should have been 0.10 quicker with that wind!

Kudos to ETH for supporting the CWG and well deserved gold. Great final well done all three medalists.
