Can't wait for the women's pole vault

[Tokyoround]

Athletics really is the main event, can't stop watching. i've even taken my laptop in front of the screens in my office so it looks like i'm still doing work.

[This Honest]

Well I was at work today and managed to see Jess Ennis british record race
Hope she continues her top form.

Also have to give a shout out to Katarina Johnson-Thompson

C-, can do better. I'd hammer home the point more, but I don't just want this to become a sprint for the best puns.


Ahem.

Calm down, might have to get you on the decathlon coffee or else you'll be for the high jump out of here.

Because of Yelena Isinbayeva. What a woman! Not many people have dominated their sport like she did. Sadly, she's not the force she once was so she may not even medal though she showed good form earlier in the year winning the Indoor World Championships. Her battles with Svetlana Feofanova were quite something.

Ahhh, understandable. I remember that rilvalry.

Will be hoping for a British one-two in the 200 metres of the heptathlon tonight.

[CB91]

I can't wait for the 400m and 800m. Kirani James has a very good chance to add an Olympic Gold to his World Title and hopefully Rudisha becomes the first man under 1:41.00.

Most of the women's event are good for the arses on show too. Isinbayeva's got a cracking one.

What time is Ennis back on?

The shot put has started at 7 but it might be that Ennis is not on yet. My guess is she'll be in the penultimate heat as this isn't her strongest event

[Dagnabbit]

11.32 for Katarina

that'll put her some way down sadly

Shame, but it was expected- she even said so herself

Hopefully she'll do herself justice in the 200m

I wish I was in the Olympic stadium for the athletics, but the ticket prices are ridiculous.
