1) Do they get it for finishing top of the league?
2) Do they get anything extra for winning all events? (or just the extra prize money for winning)
3) Is it a real diamond? (I mean a top quality one worth a shit load)?
4) Is it theirs to keep? Could they stick it on ebay the next day or is it just a loan or gesture?
2) yeah they do get something extra. if they win in the year before championship year they get an automatic spot on their team for that event. unless their nation also has the defending world champion.
WOW that 5000m was a thrilling race. well, the final lap anyway. i didn't know who i wanted to win as well which made it more exciting! i don't know who i was screaming at the tv for...
Yeah, I suppose it is the Ethiopian equivalent of Coe v Ovett.

No, there's nothing extra for winning ALL the events though - someone who sneaks it on the last day because the leader falls - which happened in the women's steeplechase last year - gets the same as Hejnova.

Bolt had to fight hard for that one. Wasn't easy at all. But he is still the man. Gemilli will be the first Brit to do that golden double. I have no doubt about that.

you're right.. i guess i read it wrong!
AW the mascot hit shelly ann in the face!
Typical of Gobby and Coleen to be blabbing on after the 1500 has started.....
Well he got within a metre of the WR this time, so that's an improvement for Chris.
"So Will, which of these hurdlers has got the most impressive back, do you think?"
Ooops, wrong guy. Our 3rd 8th place finish of the night.
It was a bad start and close finish for a Bolt race.
