    Cheers Rich/Smudge. I've had worse nights out that's for sure! Mum loved her athletics so I did shed a few tears. I could hear her screaming Mo round that last lap alongside me.

    Special night for me and a special night for our nation.

    @wss what was the atmosphere like there ?

    For a venue that would have a fair.share of corporates, and overseas supporters, it sounded utterly incredible.

    Just uploaded a youtube video mate, not sure it captures the intensity but it was so loud in there. More than I've ever experienced at football (including '98).

    Ha ha. I was sitting in virtually the same spot as WSS, on the grass bank outside the stadium, watching the big screen, at around 1.30pm.

    Very impressed with young Gemili, think he will be a big star, will certainly go under 10 seconds next year I should think. Bolt looked good, but so did Blake. Going to be fascinating, I'm going Blake, Bolt, Gatlin

    The bird doing the triple jump for GB is Cuban. And has previously competed for Cuba and Somalia. Now GB.
    What's that all about?

    Mo Farah didn't sing the national anthem.

    I await the criticism Murray would have got (or not)

    He's Somalian Len. It's not his anthem, like it is Murray's

    Nine if the 3 athletics winners from last night did, they stood there looking emotional, proud and happy - no issue with that as far as I'm concerned.

    If that had gone on another 10 metres she would've won that. Dunno why she leaves it so late, she was the same in the semi.

    If she'd just started that final sprint a moment earlier she could maybe even
    have grabbed the gold. Well done though.

    really thought she was too far behind but back in she comes! awesome! she looked gutted at the end though. hope they get an interview with her.

    That bloke Rooney earlier that didn't make the final, felt dreadfully sorry for him. apologising to everyone and anyone.

    Her record of 'turning up' at major championships, compared to most GB athletes, is incredible.

    Great run Christine

    What a win. Feel for Gay, gatlin comes across as a complete arsehole and looks like he's on something yet again
