World Athletics Championships 2013 Moscow

Wow 5th World gold for Debaba in the 10m. She is an all-time great.

i don't think there have been any relays in this championship. Thinking of anniversary games? Men's 100 m was it? I have hopes of the womens 4x400.
Do you like paula's frock?? Doesn't she look lovely?

Got it on now; I understand that we dropped the baton in the relay again either this weekend or last? Why does this keep happening??

Goodness me, Paula Radcliffe gets the frock of the day award today. I wonder if she is going to a posh "do" afterwards. Or maybe presenting a medal? Gorgeous. tune in now, even if you are not interested in athletics.
Notice all three of our beautiful and intelligent team have chosen not to wear short tailored dresses after struggling not to show yards of leg while sitting round that tiny table.

Should have said too, our own Sharah Proctor in the long jump on good form.

Today's highlight is the Men's 100m this evening at 18.50. Bolt will win, won't he (as long as he starts this time - false started 2 yrs ago)
But the second and third places are anyones. Our own youngster James Dasaolu even, if he gets through the semis.

Nanaej , very kind , thankyou just a small one for me !!

Fantastic run by Mo. Take it back re Gabby - much more relaxed today. She was covering Diamond League matches and suspect that producer was in her ear maybe.
It was possibly a first - for a while there were three women in the studio, commentating on a major sporting event.
And didn't Denise look stunning.

Indeed we have! have a with me!

Yeah right !!!!!

a small x for u . laugh

"big heart , broad shoulders " ??

Congratulations Mo from me too! Brilliant race.

See Nonu we can agree sometimes

Mo Farah, well done to you , you are a star !

I thought Gabby was wonderful last year; I loved her late night show with the chart etc. Saw her and the one that does the gold in a new light [even though I've forgotten the other one's name ].

The one to watch today is Mo Farah on at 3.55 this afternoon - will he win the 10,000 metres? He is in awesome form, and Olympic champion, but he is the man they will all be trying to beat.

Isn't it just? This time last year we were buzzing (remember DDiL is a team GB athletics coach? #me showingoffagain!) we were reminiscing about it all last night.

Nevertheless, I hope our lot do well!

Well they have started. In an almost empty stadium in Moscow. Bit different to London.

And is anybody else really mystified why Gabby Logan has been given the key role in presenting on the BBC?

Surely there must be some other athletics fans on GN?
Sorry to hear this afternoon that Jess Ennis-Hill is not going to Moscow cos of her achilles. But pleased to hear that Greg Rutherford is going as he has in the passed been plagued by injuries.
