Coverage should have started on Eurosport but it not working for me. Same for anyone else?? I am using europsort player and there is a seperate channel for athletics.
Looks like you'll have to wait until 4.45 when it starts on Eurosport 1 (according to my listing). Times like this when Kodi comes into its own.

We are not going to get to see the Women’s 4x100m final are we? Race starts at 16:35 and Eurosport coverage only starts at 16:45…

Feels just like watching the BBC! Perhaps we can pretend it's Gabby and Co. on the screen blabbering about Usain Bolt.

And the Eurosport player stream starts just in time for us to miss the Women's 4x100. the Steeplechase, and the 400m hurdles.

Quality coverage there. Just get to see the end of the women's 4x100 race.

Still, at least we beat the Germans. Though the Dutch seemed to be rocket propelled!

Terrible first hand over, Asha was doing a good impression of Harry Potter casting a spell for a couple of seconds there.

Not much of a pace in the women's 1500. They could save Sifan the effort, give her gold medal and draw straws for other two medals.

Edit: Or not!

Ridiculous 1500m!! I don't think I've ever seen a major Championship final go at 5:11 pace for the first 800!!! Last 700 covered in 1:47.

And now the live coverage starts, right in the middle so we're not going to see the earlier action.

I don't think I've ever seen a 1500 run that slow.

Shame the Irish girl got baulked by the Norwegian, or she might have had Hassan.

Yeah, Sifan's not quite in form yet. She said to Jonathan the other day that she's not done much speed work since her injury.

Shock bronze for Ciara Mageean from Ireland. Sarah McDonald will be disappointed with 9th. With an honest pace I think she was good for 5th or 6th.

Excellent bronze for Ciara Mageean there. She may have been a tad unlucky not to take silver too as she was hampered at the start of the home straight and had to switch to the outside.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN8...YsU65gA/videos - track action up on there quite quickly

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq5...1Oa1fgg/videos - slower to upload videos but includes field events too

Brown trousers at the faulty start, but some bling at the end.

Wow! The first 3 all the same time. I thought Henrik had it with 30 to go but he finishes 4th, 0.02s too slow for Gold!!
