Barcelona 2010

06th August 2010
Great Britain's long distance double act took to the stage in Barcelona and kick started an exciting and rewarding week of athletics. Their grins couldn't have been wider, nor the respect for each other any greater. True sportsmen.


Mo Farah & Chris Thompson, Gold & Silver in the Men's 10,000m.

No medal for Chambers in Barcelona, not that you'd know it from this smile. MLF won the silver, I hope he can keep up the good work and continue to prove himself.



I like Phillips. He's a friendly athlete who seems to have found his groove and, in doing so, has won the World and European Championship titles. He doesn't seem to take it for granted either, his reaction to this victory was really emotional when he was talking to Phil. Here's to 2012.




You'll remember the last time that Christian featured in the watts happening section was in Beijing 2008. Then I was happy to see him in an Olympic final. Whilst the European Championships are a pared down field, it was still fantastic to see Christian medal.



Our intrepid crew set off to the W hotel in Barcelona, tasked with interviewing Linford for a preview for the Men's 100m. Imagine my joy, when I saw this bar full of gold sofas and cushions. It couldn't have been more perfect for the golden team of Christie and McIntosh.
