Ingebrigtsen has just set a world record at the Brussels Diamond League meet. Can't say I've ever seen a 2000 metres race in athletics before, though.

Lovely article about my friend and ever enthusiastic running companion who is taking a big role in our Edinburgh-based athletics club this year. https://www.caac.org.uk/2023/08/29/meet-the-new-co-captains-janet-grigor/

Watching the World #Athletics Championships on BBC iPlayer and I had paused it for a bit so I was about 4 minutes behind the live coverage of the men’s 5,000m.

Made the mistake to look up a runner on #Wikipedia and saw that his page already had been updated to say that he had won the race!

Sometimes Wikipedia editors are too fast! ⌨️🔥

Went out just a little too hard and just ran out of steam, but no disgrace in a silver for Hudson-Smith. #Athletics #WorldChampionships

USA and Botswana runners in the men's 200m heat just now, so far ahead, practically jogging, turning to each other on the straight and smiling. Fun to see, but must be disheartening for everyone else running flat out to still be so far behind. #Athletics #WorldChampionships

If jumping events are tied at the end they ask the jumpers if they want to keep jumping until one wins or each get gold medals. The right answer is obviously “two gold medals” and it’s always so cute when they agree on it (also happened in the men’s high jump at Tokyo Olympics)

Women's 1500 metres a foregone conclusion, but no less fabulous to watch. Faith Kipyegon is stupidly good. #Athletics #WorldChampionships

Watching the #athletics from #Budapest and absolutely loving the reactions of various competitors when they're getting personal bests.

#Athletics So happy for KJT today.

Just watched Katarina Johnson-Thompson do just enough in the Heptathlon to win the World Championship Athletics in Budapest. What a finish! Been a bit of a sporting Sunday.

I like #athletics and #trackandfield bc there is a place for everyone! Skinny 10000m-runners, muscle machines in the sprints and beefy bears in the shot put. Love it! #Pride #loveislove

Kaval: Fisher will invest in players — once the Vegas deal is finalized: #Athletics #oakland
“You wouldn't invest in the stadium like that, and also not invest in the quality of the product,” Kaval said. “So that's something that we really want to reiterate and I think will be an important aspect as we launch the team in Vegas.”
