Just had a peak at Reading/Leeds fest on BBC iPlayer & man, it hurts to see how bad the line ups are. Ok, a few decent bands, but this weekend used to be huge. Compare 2026 with 2000-2003 Gotta feel sorry for the kids. Back in my day…… 👴

Looked further at top European 🚺 after Dina’s achievements: 2️⃣7️⃣ Medals = Bol & Drechsler 2️⃣6️⃣ Individual Medals = Drechsler 2️⃣0️⃣ in 1 event 1️⃣1️⃣ Global 🌎 individual medals = Drechsler 7️⃣ Global 🌎 individual🥇= Wlodarczyk (Hassan = 6) 5️⃣ OG🎖️in seperate events = Szewinska

After 7 years of failure, I found my way to the AtStat podium. Biggest athletics achievement, surpassing my club V35 indoor record for 800m (was the only V35 recorded) 😆 Pipped 🇮🇹 to🥈but ironically it was Jacobs who was only prediction I got wrong, denying me🥇

Jazz misses out 🥇by 1cm Dobson & 4x4miss out by 0.03s Fine margins but Italy take the champs

Some way to end the champs

Better update that to 2️⃣3️⃣ medals for Dina. 🔟🥇 Now same amount as Irena Szewinska. Unsure if any European female has got any more?

Well done 🇬🇧 mixed 4x100 🥇 Not sure about this event tho. It’s fun but chaos. Only 5 teams finish. if continues, surely has to be WWMM. Makes the changeovers better, rather than having to negotiate the difference in speeds at changeovers. Zharnel was jogging out from Dina

The big question in this last session is of course; who will win the Atstat Top 20 picks. The Dutch 🇳🇱 going strong but may have kicked too early? Have a feeling 🇬🇧 may have timed this just right 🤞

Had to watch men’s 1500 back; Pihlstrom 🇸🇪 was nowhere all race until the last 200m. Last at bell, 2nd last with 200 to go, then closes in 25.7s🥈 (compared with 27 mid-high for both Jake’s) He stayed out of trouble all race, a classic sit n kick Wasn’t going for🥇tho like 🇬🇧

Dina Asher-Smith now has 2️⃣2️⃣ medals at major senior champs 🥳 Over 60, 100, 200 & 4x100m Most🎖️ever by a 🇬🇧 🚺 Ahead of both Chrissy O & Eilidh Doyle on 1️⃣7️⃣ Dina’s 1️⃣1️⃣ individual medals, equal with Y.Murray but behind: 1️⃣4️⃣ Muir 1️⃣2️⃣ Hodgkinson & Holmes

Weber just killed his teammate with that monster

Men’s 1500m???? Anyone any words, cos I ain’t

Imagine asking KJT ‘is the hunger still there?’ Sarah u muppet

5th & Last session for me, 4th different ticket band. Good value, don’t know what all the whining is about. Somethings in the air tonight & it’s not the smell from the porter-loos

Stood on inner rail?

£28 a ticket to watch world & Olympic champions & a world record holder or two? A rip-off 😆

If you’re looking for tickets still for Euros make sure you check the Re-Sale tickets tab. Just bought some for Friday night & didn’t realise there’s loads more cheaper ones on offer as re-sale

This is not news! Food at events been overpriced for 30+ yrs. Not an athletics or Brum thing, same for ⚽️ 🏉 🎾, music gigs, theatre etc Here’s a tip, eat before you go, or take your own food? Greggs 10min walk away from stadium🤔 Fail to prepare, prepare to fail

Awesome PB & 2nd place from Lina. So strong in home straight. I may be wrong but I make that the 3rd 🇬🇧 to set 54.04 as a PB: Doyle Newnham Nielsen

U know your at a euro champs when nearly all the crowd are gathered by the discus qualifying
