What they said was that there wasn't enough evidence to overturn it.

....a little too much Gabby at the moment... Maybe they're trying to annoy Coe.  |

I'm admittedly not the sharpest tool in the shed but I have to say I don't fully understand these "world championships"
You would think its easy enough to figure out in the Olympic years - that the Olympics are essentially the global world championships that year - but that is not necessarily true.
I've seen figure skaters interviewed and they've said, "It was exciting to win the gold medal and I will enjoy it for a while, but then I have to focus on the world championship coming up in a few weeks..."
Well if someone just won a gold medal in the Olympics aren't they in effect the defacto world champion? Its confusing.
One of my local 24 hour sports channels must have shown at least 3 different world gymnastic championships this year, or so it seemed.
Are they possibly like boxing titles? Where there can be 3 or 4 different "world heavyweight champion" based on the particular governing body that issues the belt?

Originally, it was just the Olympic Games, but for athletics, in 1976 the IAAF started holding a World Championship competition after the IOC decided to stop having certain athletics events as part of the Olympic Games. The competition, as we know it, today, was begun in the early 1980s.

I watched that on repeat several times and there was no way I would have called that a punch, not even a tap really. Cram needs to get out more if he thinks that was a punch, clearly has some viking axe to grind. There is one way to stop them all pushing and shoving - VAR - can you imagine!!
Gabby is a presenter, her background isn't important, some of the best sports presenters never actually did any sports. We need someone to explain the technicalities and someone to enthuse and direct questions. I don't have a problem with it.

I really didn't notice it the first time I saw it. It looked like something that had happened many times before in similar circumstances.

I've seen the clip and it looked to me more like a shove than a punch. Yes he had his fist closed but there wasn't the force you would get in a punch. If his hand had been flat no-one would have thought any more of it.

Well done to Kenya and Jamaica for their 2nd and 3rd place finishes on the medals table. Kenya of course scoring big in the distance races and Jamaica in the sprints. Interesting how the smaller sport nations often have a specialized focus and can be incredibly successful at it.  |
