    Been watching the Diamond League on T.V. tonight, and enjoyed it, some very good races, Hodgkinson the young British 800-meter runner is one to watch out for in the future, and what made it even better was there was no Michael Johnson telling us every 2 minutes how good he was and no Denise Lewis talking bull****.

    You mean Hodgkinson the Olympic silver medalist? Yes, quite the hidden gem.

    Brilliant meet. I could watch Hassan and Kipyegon race each other all night. Unreal.

    Michael Johnston became almost human in his comments after USA did so badly n the Olympics! I like Denise Lewis' contributions though.

    It's a shame Roger Black was *****, John Regis was as wide as he was tall and Linford Christie wasn't interested in the 200m.

    To be fair m8, Johnson was a real top quality Athlete elete in his pomp. Right up there with the very best.

    I know I just don't think he was tested enough. I'm convinced Linford Christie could have beat him.

    Doubtful m8, only 2 people have ever ran faster than he did in 1996 ever.
    Bolt and Blake and both by fractions.
    Christie would have been 36 as well in Johnson’s peak.
