    That was a crazy race, too many athletes and difficult to follow where everyone was positioned in the race.

    Clearly it was an issue for the athletes too as one of the Irish competitors ran over the finish line after 9600m, sat down on the track for a few seconds, looked at her watch, realised she wasn't finished, then had to get up again and run another lap around the track. Amateur stuff.

    What a championships for Nadia Batocletti, 5k/10k double on home soil with a PB in the latter.

    Brilliant bronze medal for Megan Keith at 21 years of age, there'll be more medals coming her way in the next few years.

    I rechecked it & Greg said the winner could come from lanes 3 to 8. Possibly not 9. So he discounted the poor guy before he even started. I love his predictions as they’re usually wrong.

    Tamberi broke his shoe while clearing 2.34m, then came back and cleared 2.37m! Legend. The Italians are having a spectacularly successful champs.

    Cuban born Triple Jumpers 1st and 2nd in that event, both over 18m.

    Looking at the timetable for tomorrow, will we see anything after the women's 4x4? 🤔😃

    It's to be expected, but the Italians had a massive home-court advantage in the stadium this week. The morning sessions have been so quiet that they actually roped in a couple of busloads of schoolkids as a an organized Italian cheering squad today. We were sitting in front the of Tamberi show this evening, which was great craic, but you kind of felt for the decathlon guys and the javelin women (and the non-Italian high jumpers). Triple jump only got a few look-ins. Tamberi's the kind of guy who is great for the sport, but if you're going to shut down everything else so he can have his show-time, then at least run the other events at a different time and give the other athletes the respect they deserve.

    I hope so! I want to see how Coscoran does in the 1500m.

    The Dutch will be very tough to beat tonight assuming they bring in Bol and Klaver. Their third best 400m runner - Peeters is also good, probably on par with Sophie Becker.

    Didn't break his shoe - he pretended to have hurt his foot, sat down and while the camera cut away to the shocked faces in the crowd he produced a pile of springs out of his shoe. :-)

    Very excited about the relay later. I think we'll be in the medals, but the colour remains to be seen. I think a lot depends on how much Mawdsley and Adeleke have left in their legs. Will also probably need one of the Dutch to have a bad leg so Bol has too much work to do. Really looking forward to it!

    the best place for uninterrupted coverage tonight ? I had to screen share the rte player off my phone, as the app on my NVidia shield did not show live tv for some reason, only boxsets and replays !!

    That was the great thing about RTE Player coverage last night they just stayed on the coverage rather than constantly going back to the studio. Less events on schedule tonight though so mightn't be as bad. Wonder would BBC red button be better. Never thought to check that as I was watching on PC on Player every other day.

    A medal in this relay is absolutely not a foregone conclusion.

    Poles, Dutch, yes and yes. Dutch are favourites. But France and Germany, pending selection, are all within an asses roar of one another.

    Mawdsley will shake it up with another 49 split but thats a tough ask after her week already.

    And don't sleep on Andrew Coscoran in the 1500m! Depends what Jakob wants to do, but we'll likely have a dust up in the last 300m and then he just needs to be lucky in between 200 and 90 to go and hope for little traffic. Its a lot of hope but its 1500 championship racing. Anything, bar 1st place, can happen

    Don't think we'll beat the Dutch again tonight, their women's relay team is probably stronger than their mixed relay team if they have all of their big three running. Silver or bronze for us I'd say.

    Why is last nights evening session not on the player now? Wanted to watch the Mens Decathalon finale. Watched a bit on the Eurovision channel but no commentary. RTE are coming to my town tonight so ye'll see me on tv during the race. I have a feeling it might be silver but hopefully they'll get gold. The Bol factor is hard to ignore.

    4 towns (clubs) represented so be interesting to see who the spotlight falls on.

    Newport me thinks?

    Imagine that. Dying from a few days of accumulated lactic build up and then you die an absolute death up the home straight. Yikes.

    Or Portaferry for a Mageean homecoming?

    Getting nervous for them now. Really hope they get a medal. Even bronze would be a win.

    Fingers crossed Mawdsley can hold it together on the anchor leg when up against Bol. Becker needs to set us up well handing over to Adeleke in the top 3/4.

    The Dutch have changed their running order, with Klaver leading off. Didn't fancy facing Adeleke on the second leg?

    Sounds like Adeleke has gotten into her head. Puts more pressure on Becker to deliver a good opening leg.

    Klaver #### the bed, so to speak in the mixed relay final. She ruined the Dutch chance of gold. She went out too strong and had no energy left for the last 200m. They would have won had she not done so.

    Ireland are really up against it tonight. Hopefully the changeovers go cleanly as well.

    You knew the gold medal was gone going into the last changeover as Bol was ahead, and she's just so good. Fair play to Mawdsley, great performance to live with Bol on the last leg. Silver medal, nice one. Mawdsley was the fastest of the 4 Irish girls, and ran a faster split than Bol.

    Super Silver, the 4th leg for Poland was absolutely flying and I thought she was going to challenge the top 3 before falling back.

    Fantastic race. I think no matter what Mawdsley did, Bol would have found more. She's that good.

    But it was still a serious effort, and a fantastic result. The four of them should be delighted with themselves. Super championship.

    Klaver ran a great lead-off, it must be said. Set the Dutch up superbly. Adeleke had the second fastest leg, after the French anchor. I thought Kaczmarek was going to sweep past in the home straight, but she ran out of steam.

    A great silver. The Dutch are the world champions after all.
