He shouldn't be reinstated just because he's a talent though...

Great news. I've watched the 5000m again and it does look like he was shoved/pushed.

Anyone watching the women’s marathon? I thought it started at 23:59 our time but realised it was local time and have just turned it on

It’s on the BBC red button and website. I’m not convinced the late night start is doing much for the spectacle. When you can hear the runners breathing there’s not much crowd support

I'm watching the women's marathon but don't think I can watch for much longer. It's carnage out on the course.

I am. It looks quite ridiculous in all honesty with so many deciding that enough is enough after only an hour of running. Such a shame and totally understandable - if they don’t wreck themselves they can fight another day soon. Push on and it could take weeks to recover....

Although I am sure the fastest athlete will still win, it’s a shame for the rest of the field.
