After the World Cup fiasco, it was really good to watch the European Athletics Champiomships over the last 6 days.
Great efforts by our boys and girls with some really superhuman performances from Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis. There's dedication to a sport for you !
A different Rooney representing his country in Barcelona..and putting huge effort in this time !
The Girls's events were particularly watchable...perv mode on ! How those slim little figures produce all that power and stamina is beyond me ! The high jumper was clearing 2m/3cm !
Good coverage by the beeb with exscellent experts and first class interviews with the, often panting, competitors. A pleasure to watch.
I was a long distance runner in my yoof, before I got fat and lazy, and I've always enjoyed watching. No Yanks, Caribbeans or Africans, of course, but still a World Class display.
Nice to see the Irish, Croatians and other small states in the medals.
More good news...it's every 2 years from now on !
To top the day off, England had a good win at the old cricket.
My cup runneth over.
