Athletics Thread

There would be if people could have faith in what they're watching. I used to love watching the Golden League meetings on Eurosport all summer back in the 90s when they'd be on most weeks, naively believing that most of what I was watching was fair and genuine. Athletics is unquestionably great TV.

But if you check back on this event in two years time you'll almost certainly see that a good number of the results have changed, and that's ultimately why there isn't more of it on TV these days. You just can't believe half of what you're seeing.

If they could get a fully fit and firing Phil Healy back in the team alongside Becker, Mawdsley and Adeleke they could have a good run at that relay in Paris. Failing that they could try and find a Brit or an American with an Irish qualification that can run a sub 52 second 400 and bring them in.

Yeah would agree there. Even a half fit Adeleke runs better than the girl who was on the second leg

They wouldn't have won a medal yesterday with Adeleke in the team. But a year from now with her, Mawdsley, a hopefully in form Becker and one more in to improve the team (e.g. Phil Healy) and they could have a chance. More hope of that team kicking on than the mixed relay team I think.
