    Switching to athletics. Some great events coming up.

    Looking forward to watching Sifan Hasan run the 1500m (semi-final, at 10.12pm).

                Off tangent comment maybe. Maybe for the #GOM thread. Maybe just being nostalgic. Maybe uber patriotic.

                But just watching 2nd chicks 1500m semi.

                Glancing across the screen showing the starters ... just checking if a Kiwi is involved ... scan quickly ... nup, no black singlet.

                Then it occurs to me that EVERY other country has to look twice for their colours, as some other country has a strip similar to someone else's.

                Love the black singlet.

                (Hence #GOM ... where black people, not white ... )

                      Kipyegon looked very good so that will be one hell of a final.

                                PB for McPherson. Fastest qualifier on the 400m.

                                  Good first lift for David Liti. What a chiller.

                                        Conditions look brutal.

                                        Heaps of Aussies trained up here before departure. Should have come in summer

                                          Georgian weightlifter breaks his own world record. Not a bad day's work.
