London 2017 World Athletics Championships

nice too see I'm not the only fan here.

What are your favorite events?

I only follow sprints. 400m and less. favorite event is 100 m


It was nice to see justin gatlin win, he deserves it and I think its really pathetic how people hold a "doping" ban against him still a decade later, when it wasn't even the PEDs that actually help you with performance that he was banned for.
 
I'm into all events pretty much. I was a 100, 200m, relay sprinter, hurdler and long jumper though so they've always been great fun for me to watch :)

At this world's champs some of my highlights were watching Team GB win the 4x100m relay with the 3rd fastest time ever, and watching Australia's Sally Pearson make a hurdles comeback to win after all the hell she's been through. I was at the arena to watch those live.

I found the booing of Gatlin embarrassing and hypocritical, since many other athletes there had previously been banned but weren't subjected to similar treatment. At the end of the day he's allowed to run by the IAAF, and is probably the least likely to be using banned PEDs now.
