Belgrade: The good the bad and the ugly

The Good

The arena. Don’t think I have been to a better one. Great view of the whole track.

Witness the Wonder, World Athletics Outdoor Championships, Budapest, Day 14: Five Reasons to go to the World Championships in Budapest!

So much high-quality action. Not sure I have ever seen a better session than Saturday evening which every event seemed to surpass the previous one in excellence and excitement.

Three world records – Grant Holloway, Mondo Duplantis, and Yulimar Rojas

The happiest winner? So many but Cyrena Samba-Mayela takes the prize by a whisker. A surprise winner, beaming from ear to ear.

Best field event battle – women’s pole vault. Olympic champion, Katie Nageotte made the running (made the jumping) but Sandi Morris, defending champion came through to win

Great to see Hannah England make a seamless transition from track to commentary.

The starter – unnoticed – in contrast to the chaos of false starts in the 2017 European Indoors in the same arena.

Jenny Selman made the GB team for the first time, aged 31, in the 800 and missed the final by one-hundredth of a second

Personal highlights

Yaroslava Mahuchikh winning the high jump and the reaction to the Ukrainian national anthem.

Sharing an elevator with Raspberry Lee, the mascot.

The Bad

Nothing really bad.

Shocks

World record holder and Olympic Champion, Ryan Crouser was beaten by Darlan Romani (Brazil) but if the favorites always won it would be boring.

The embarrassing

The British team coming close to a no-medals weekend

The technology – Wifi unusably slow for the first day. Cabled internet never worked. Monitors, which started working only on the third day.

The DQ of Jessie Knight for stepping on the infield when everyone but the officials could see that she had been pushed off the track. She was re-instated.

The unfortunate

The British team – losing key athletes to injury

The disappointing

The British team

The crowd – most sessions barely half-full.

The surprises

My hotel serving Egg, bacon, and crab for breakfast!

Stadium announcer “Grant Holloway, untouchable for years over the hurdles”. Really?Tokyo?
