I see Richard Kilty deleted his tweet insinuating Asafa Powell is on drugs with a quickness! Shame his brain doesn't work as fast as his fingers and legs.

He's training in Arizona at the moment so airfare considerably less than from London
Congrats to Christina Francisco and the Afghan - big championship performers! As Phil Jones has told many a distraught British athlete, you can't ask for anything more than setting a PB at the Worlds.
Peter Matthews bottled it with the Sri Lankan ... "Let's call him Eashan"
Barbara Nwaba & Shelley Ann Fraser-Pryce ... Separated at birth?

And how many people saw that tweet before he deleted it. Boy never learns.
I still wouldn't be surprised to see Powell bottle it in some way come the final.
Powell's run was quite something considering he didn't run through the line. I do agree with Tiger Rose though - feel he'll mess it up somehow. Maybe wrong though.
I quite enjoyed the world feed commentary. Not heard Peter Matthews for ages. Assume the regulars will be back for the rest of it.
That was my last live action. Have to record the rest and play catch-up. Bloody work getting in the way.

Extraordinary wasn't it! I have watched athletics for years and never seen that before. Mind you they had photographers too close to the long jump as well.
Pen leader is still Mokhnyuk with 4066 - more than 100 points ahead of compatriot Fodorova and BTE. Looks like the Canadian will have to wait some time longer for her first global title.
