With a few British medal chances tonight it's going to be a right ol' GabFest on the Beeb. Time to fire up the VPN for the world feed!Comment

I like Jeanette as a presenter and when she has someone to bounce off with in the studio, but as a trackside reporter she is all over the place. Don’t know where half those questions come from and I always get the sense she has no idea what to ask next. A shame we haven’t nailed the trackside reporter role on beeb for years now.Comment

I do have a VPN, but have discovered, by accident, that you don't need it for the dedicated live streams on Eurovision sport. If you are wanting the overall coverage it directs you to the BBC. Watching LJ pentathlon without VPN on my tablet and overall coverage WITH vpn on the TV. Strange , but true!Comment

My hunch is that Neita will struggle to compete with Kambundji here, but I think she'll go under 10.85 outdoors this season and dethrone Dina as British number 1 before Tokyo.Comment

The fact that Holly Mills is getting out-long jumped by Kate O'Conner currently after 2 rounds, is indicative of the lack of confidence she has right now.
Remember, Mills is a former European Junior long jump medallist who's distance that day was 6.51m. Right now, Mills' best is 5.71m....
Something is going very wrong in what should be her strongest event....
Mills finished the long jump comp with 5.85m, an improvement, but still well down on what she is capable of.Last edited by RunUnlimited; 03-03-23, 16:59.Comment

Yeah, something is funky there. Also, Thiam will have to run quick to get a World Record, which will be fun! -
I was told she had changed her take-off foot from when she was a Junior... or am I getting mixed-up with another Brit multi-eventer... I don't want to be critical but it is very difficult to watch such a talent struggle. -
Mills jumped 6.37m twice last year - once indoors and once outdoors, and at Gotzis she jumped a respectable 6.25m during the heptathlon. Not KJT distances, but a decent effort in a multi-event contest. And at the CWG, 6.19m, which again, is ok... But at the European Champs, she barely scraped over 6 meters and ever since, she's struggled mightily to go beyond that distance.
Whatever has gone wrong has gone wrong quickly and hasn't been rectified.

Posters ,who is the female voice on beeb commentary with backley in the field events?Comment

2:16.51 for 5014 points will do for a new world record for Thiam by my calculation, which seems more doable than Anna Hall needing 2:05 at altitude, and there's been a long break between the morning and evening sessions + Vidts to help her out. Would be exciting! Either way, she looks completely healthy and in imperious shape.Last edited by libarun; 03-03-23, 17:17.Comment

Aargh, 4 points in the prediction contest snatched away by Kokoshko in the last round !Comment

Very pleased for Hanna Klein and good runs by the GB women.Comment

Great run for Ingebrigtsen, holding off Gourley's charge on the last bend and getting the gold. Unlucky for George Mills, getting tripped right at the start and he had no chance to recover. He'll be back for sure though.Comment

The men's triple jump final is as one-sided a contest as you can imagine. Pedro Pichardo has just jumped 17.60m, a WL and his second NIR of these championships after breaking it during qualifying yesterday. 2nd place Hess is over a meter behind with 16.54m.Comment
