    I like her BECAUSE she's Scouse
    Yep. Second best accent after Geordie on a woman (on men, they're pretty much the two worst).

    They did say 250pts would be a better and safer margin... We'll see...



    This :yep:
    Yeah, its not as far ahead as she'd like, but I think her main opponents have stumbled a bit today as well...

    That is very true. Dobrynska and Chernova have had relatively disappointing days. And I'm at work tomorrow so won't be able to watch what's going on :cry:

    No idea where I'm going to be at 20:45 tomorrow, but I'm going to try my hardest to make sure its somewhere near a TV to watch the 800m.

    Well, I'll be back in time for that, but I'll miss the progress throughout the day. Probably for the best, tbh.

    I wonder if Chambers can make it into the final - we can then hope for a load of false starts for him to take gold

    Is it true that Lemaitre pulled out of the 100m's to concentrate on the 200?
