#WorldIndoorChamps #BBCathletics The commentary of Colin Jackson earlier today reminded me of Joh Bjelke-Petersen - the Danish chap who become Premier of Queensland for donkey's years: "Don't you worry about that" repeatedly!

Two points from #BBCathletics coverage of #Tokyo2025/#WCHTokyo25, unlucky Hocker in the 1500m was moving his arms so as to MINIMISE contact with his rivals; &, understandably ending knackered, athletes are stooping more since Duplantis hit the headlines davidfranks.blogspot.com

Man, BBC have been broadcasting athletics for 30 mins without showing a smidge of live action. When is this studio chat going to end? #bbcathletics

#WCHTokyo25/#Tokyo2025 #Athletics #BBCathletics On a lighter note, I still think Fosbury flopped with his #HighJump method & they should, rather, be diving front-on over the bar, as if into a pool - call it "Dave's Dive," if you wish! davidfranks.blogspot.com

#BBCathletics commentators saying Jake Wightman showed a good "racing brain" in 1500m at #WCHTokyo25/#Tokyo25 but I think he looked at the screen too much & only went 100% when it was too late. davidfranks.blogspot.com

#BBCathletics Re all the unhygienic silly wigs at #Tokyo25/#WCHTokyo25, why on Earth are so many women of African-origin against their own natural African hair? My WalkaboutsVerse #poem "A Multicultural WORLD of Carrying" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/03/walk...

Have #BBCAthletics arrayed their studio pundits in height order, or is Jenny Meadows just "very far away"?

#BBCathletics According to #Rastafarian belief sung by Bob Marley & spoken by Marcus Garvey, the 3 men's 100m medal-winners at #WCHTokyo2025/#Tokyo25 should be competing for Ethiopia - whose government have set aside land for repatriates; my #poem on this walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/02/walk...

Re #WCHTokyo25/#Tokyo25 & #BBCathletics, seems Andrew Cotter can do as he wishes - falsely talk as if he's done it all, be sarcastic, etc., as he is Scottish & the BBC wish to keep the damn monarchy together. My #poem about a VISIT "To Scotland, Again" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/06/walk...

Little klaxon, live on BBC 2 at 1.15 Kate O’Connor will aim to win a world indoor medal for Ireland in the pentathlon and then European champ Jeremiah Azu goes in the men’s 60m final at 1.24pm for Great Britain. #bbcathletics #WorldIndoorChamps
