I think Tomlinson was more likely responding to Carl Lewis' comments in the article above.

Looks like Christian Taylor will be following Rana Reider to Loughborough.

You can get a Eurosport online subscription for £5.99 per month. It might be worth it over the summer to watch meets like this an the Olympics.

Here's a leaderboard where you can see the Brits as long as they stay in the top 30.

Thanks Emily this is great

You're welcome. I think we now have the same amount of info as Crammie and Brendan.

well that's ruined the 10,000m.

Interestingly Dean Macey is commentating at the Great City Games tomorrow.

Maria Mutola will be competing in the All African Games...... as a footballer.

He's just said it again!

It really makes you appreciate the skill of a Sue Barker or a Jake Humphrey. A good sports presenter needs to have knowledge whilst pretending not to know so they are asking the questions the average viewer are asking.

Interesting...... Rick Edwards is doing the studio presentation this morning.
Whoops he just called Jess' coach Toni Lemoncello!

don't worry mump, I put the quiz together and I got fewer points than you. These stats are interesting. It shows who was guessed most often. Obviously some people suffer due to having names that are hard to spell but Dwain is up there in peoples' consciousness. http://www.sporcle.com/games/EmilyE/gb...

I took the names off the UKA website as they should have the correctly spelled official names for each athlete. However I have updated the quiz to make Will Sharman a correct answer as that's how he's commonly known.

Track cycling, rhythmic gymnastics, triathlon, modern pentathlon, equestrian (cross country) don't have as many tickets to sell as athletics so it is easier for them to sell out first. They are all in smaller arenas than the athletics and don't go on for as many days.

good sized crowd

me too! He's a real star.

maybe it's a way of releasing nervous energy on the startline.

There is nothing more annoying than listening to the talking heads when there are events going on in the background.

I was a fan of Colin as an athlete but he just does my head in as a pundit.

This BBC article says John Smith is MLF's coach. Does anybody know if that's right? When did he leave Christie?

The Berlin stadium has a blue track because of the football team that is based there. Their official colour is blue and they wanted the track to match.

and I don't think they get paid for it.

It was originally shown at 8am on Sunday mornings. The last few programmes of the series are still available to watch on the Channel 4 website.

Fantastic coverage from the BBC on interactive. Just great to concentrate on the athletics and the athletes. It is so much better without the dumbed down talking heads. That has to be the best coverage of a shot contest I've ever seen. I am enjoying the downtime between events. They are currently s...

Did you not see the full double-page spread colour picture of him in the Guardian?
