Diamond League action in Stockholm back underway. Even with the WCh not far off, it's still better than coming off the back of last year's ECh.
Ibargüen claims another victory in the triple jump with a rather modest (by her standards) 14.69m. She only need turn up at the last DL comp (wherever that is) to win the Diamond Race.
Wish the Diamond League would invite the Para athletes to take part
They usually do on the early non-syndicated part of the meet, but with the World Feed now so tightly packaged for the 2 hour slot it's impossible to give it much coverage.

Thank you.
As far as I know there was a club competition at London on Sunday, but I could be wrong.
Somewhat disappointed by Jodie Williams in the 200m earlier. She lost interest on the line and finished 3rd. Then again a damp Stockholm can't be the most inspiring place to run.
Damn, are Eurosport the BBC in disguise? We missed Greg Rutherford jumping 8:34 for more adverts for BT Sport!
Thought I was going crazy, they never showed it did they. It's so poor that the World feed doesn't account for people taking ad breaks. Surely the vast majority of broadcasters showing this feed will be showing adverts, how difficult would it be for them to put in some windows for advert breaks.
Renelle Lamote continues to impress, gutsing out the win on her DL debut despite being baulked on the back straight.
Bronze at the worlds behind Sum & Wilson is up for grabs. There's a group of 5 or 6 who could nab it and Lamote is putting herself in the frame. She's lost just once this season, narrowly to Selina Buchel in Montreuil. She seems to be a proper racer too and showed tonight that she's not only able to win by front-running.
Long jump victory goes to Rutherford - two jumps beyond 8.30 on a cool night certainly bodes well for Beijing. He certainly needed that after the Anniversary Games.
Barshim continues to be out of sorts. The High Jump really hasn't "taken off" this year, very flat.
Bondarenko's not competed for a while, been injured I believe. I think Zhang will win gold in Beijing unless Barshim can turn his form around in the next 3 weeks

You'll never guess who's just been made an ambassador for the 2016 World Half Marathon Championships. ;-)

Very small crowd, all a bit depressing.
Par for the course for Elidh. Though I could be diplomatic and claim the bends are a bit tight.

That was a more aggressive run from Lyndsey in the 800m. I do like to see our girls get stuck in at the business end of races.

Yep, useful rehearsal for his first round exit, managed to get himself blocked coming off the bend, and relied on others making a bigger mess of it.
Or started a second career as a mafia hitman?

Seriously can we lock him, Kilty & Vernon in a cupboard somewhere.

Well times haven't changed that much. He's still not coming close to winning a comp...
