Apparently BBC are only showing the Sunday of the British Champs live again, shame as I thought they'd do the Saturday too with it being Olympic year and the trials being even more important.

During the coverage of the Birmingham DL there it was noted on screen that Saturday would be on the red button with Sunday on BBC1. This may change as that weekend is the start of the knock out phases of Euro 2016 & even BBC won't know what matches they're showing until a few days before. If BBC aren't showing a match Sat afternoon they could move athletics to one of the main channels & if they show a match Sun afternoon the athletics could move to BBC2.

OK, if we see someone streaking down the home straight just before the Dream Mile then we will know it is you.

Or they could put on Homes Under the Hammer?

The BBC has so few sports rights nowadays you'd think they'd make the most of the ones that they do have.

Hope you're enjoying it and cheering on our Brits too (especially Laura in the Mile).

Early results in Oslo - Perković wins the women's discus with 67.10m. Lally could only manage 59.56m for sixth place.

Weather conditions don't look great.

Times in the men's 400mH nothing to write home about - 48.79 SB for Copello, albeit from lane 1.

Konrad Bukowiecki improves his world U20 best in the men's shot put to 21.14m! Current leader is Joe Kovacs with 21.51m (he's won with 22.01m).

Shame it's not a big crowd by historic standards, but this meet nowadays falls in a bit of a slow part of the season with lots of athletes going back home to prepare for trials. And then Norwegian athletics are in a bit of a national slump as well

Gebrhiwet takes the men's 5,00m ahead of Edris in 13:07.70.

The ever-consistent Thomas Röhler is finally approaching that rarefied 90m zone with a 89.30m WL/PB!

Strawberry mascot working the crowd hard, hasn't quite broken into international class yet. You don't really arrive as a mascot till you get the selfies with Usain.

Hurdles time. Wonder what Sally will do tonight?

Just an observation, but Jasmin Stowers either has a very long neck, or a very small head.

Edit: Sally nowhere again.

Walcott looks to be getting back into shape with an 86.35m SB.

After having 3 reasonable (or good) seasons, Porter seems to be struggling in Olympic year again. Rollins took it in 12.56 (-0.4m/s)

DeGrasse wins the men's 100m in 10.07 (+0.6m/s); K Collins Esq was leading (again) until he pulled a hammy, or so it seems...

Kim looked like he was pushing very hard before that.

Never good to see.

LOL, nobody wanted to go with Kiprop in that mile and he won comfortably despite easing down in the last lap or so.

21.93 (+0.7m/s) WL for Schippers in the women's 200m - on a cold night!! DLR as well!

Thompson (and everyone else) were smoked. Disappointing 23.29 for Jodie Williams.
