Not a great run by Bolt. Still wonder if he should have retired after last year.
Not a great run

He did not need to, he looked like he was jogging

Some said he should have ended his 2015 season around June/July...we know how his season ended.

True!! I just don't want to see him suffer ignominious defeats to the likes of Gatlin and others in Rio.

I can't bear the thought of him being beaten by Gatlin.

Adam Gemili looks like Will Mckenzie from the Inbetweeners

Apparently the official performance of the night award in the stadium went to Laura Muir!

Ummmm, did they not notice the clock got corrected in the hurdles? 28 year old WR FFS!

Perhaps it was one of those Xenophobe awards that can be only be given to Brits?

Gabby Logan trying a bit too hard to impress Usain there


Do you want to watch your race again

Have a look on the BBC Sport website

This new Mondo track looks fast, same as will be used for the Olympics. There were some relays run by local clubs before the main event, boys under 16 won in 42.02 With that and the world record in the women's 100mh....

Ah, you're right, Gabby just said it's the British Athletics performance of the night so only Brits allowed.

What would happen if the Jamaican trials were the same as the American ones

Would Usain Bolt not qualify for Rio

It's top 3 in Jamaica as well but the selectors reserve the right to kick one of them out and replace them with one of their stars who didn't do the trials. That's how Bolt is going as he didn't run the finals in the trials.

Yeah, there's probably a monetary award by a UK sponsor and they want a Brit to win it.

Well I haven't seen much Athletics this year so what a time to tune in. Keni Harrison just poetry in motion and what fabulous reactions when the realisation hit her and her competitors-brilliant stuff.

Bolt always drops his times in the champs. In the 100m I wouldn't be shocked if Bromell ends up being the best American. Encouraging run from Adam too, the quickest 200 he's ever run outside of a champs & another who always runs his best when it matters.

She's gold medal favourite & running one of her quickest ever hurdles races tonight only strengthens that claim.

WTF, what a time to have a massive clock malfunction.
Apparently she dipped low enough to 'dodge' the beam, so the flash result was actually for Rollins. It wasn't a dip worthy of CJ...then again, Harrison isn't 6ft.
