Tears of joy.

Jess Ennis is still lovely.

 

[Marty Moose]

Love how they present all the winners with a bendy bully as if it's of the same importance as the medal itself

 

[SAFCOldie]

More tears of joy, love it, you can really tell it means a lot.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Shame that more of the crowd didn't stay for that medal ceremony.

It was only about ten minutes after the last event.

She'll be running for GB at the next Olympics.

I remember Liz McColgan winning in 1986.

Watched thst relay with mixed teams in yday. Doesn't half highlight how much better men are at swimming. The bloke on the last leg was miles behind the women when he joined and ended up getting second. The Scotch, who had a decent lead at half way, after going with two men at the start, ended up getting pasted.

Fantastic night at the games tonight. First time I've ever watched athletics live and impressed by how action packed it was.

It's all factored in and tactical. When did the mixed stuff actually start?

I know it is. But it still highlights the difference. Four women with huge leads with one leg to go and the bloke went past three of them.

Aye, the swimming with the aerial view really does show the difference. But I'm interested to find out if this mixed stuff has always been a thing. It certainly was 10 years back and I think it was 20 years ago but need a start date if it wasn't always the case. Anyone?

First Olympic version was only in Tokyo last year. Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve seen it at the Commonwealth Games.

What about the running relay races, pretty certain that must go back 20 year?

Again Tokyo afaik for Olympics. Looks like 2019 for World Championships.

 

[Ashley In!!]

Kenya winning the 100m!

I thought they only did middle and long distance events?

He's served a doping ban in the past.
