Toepoke Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Bit of a bizarre concept with the athletics in Berlin and assorted other sports in Glasgow (and having been in Berlin this week they are certainly winning with the weather). Anyone here attending any events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckielugger Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Would love to go to the Men's cycling road race next Sunday morning...loads of star names from Le Tour in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnbruman Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I was up in Glasgow for the Commonwealth cycling road race when Geraint Thomas won at. Was great fun watching it at different points especially seeing them flying down the High Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckielugger Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Never watched a major world stars road race. Is it best to be at the finish line or watching on a climb (as lots do in Tour) or what? And yes enjoyed the Womens Race on tv. Know all the parts of Glasgow well that the race goes through so also enjoyed seeing many familiar sights/sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the Commonwealth race on the hill at Great George St. Easy access, just take the subway to Hillhead and walk round the corner. Wasn't too busy IIRC...

That BMX track at Knightswood is something else! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/45156148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Eilidh Doyle did really well in bringing the team home, her experience was crucial on the last leg. Good start by Zoey Clark. Hope Muir does well tonight. Jake Wightman did really well to get Bronze in the 1500. Sharp disappointing in the 800m, for an experienced athlete she read the race really badly.

Must be difficult when your mum was such an outstanding talent but she's worked hard and got better and better each year. Goodness knows how the Israeli athlete must feel now, can't never an athlete ever miscalculation like that and thinking she'd finished when she still had a lap to go!

Scottish athletes have now got five medals at the European Championships. I suspect that is a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
