Again, this week we're at the World Road Cycling Championships in Yorkshire which was wrapped up with a rain affected men's elite road race. The event was delayed and had a significant route change in order to protect the welfare of spectators and participants after heavy rain in the White Rose County. We speak to Mads Pedersen who eventually took the Rainbow Jersey as well as Yorkshire's own Ben Swift who was one of the two British finishers in a brutal contest. After all the build up, the World Athletics Championship is underway in Doha. Great Britain and Northern Ireland have won a silver medal on the opening weekend courtesy of Dina Asher-Smith in the women's 100m. Asher-Smith became the first British winner of a global sprint medal since Dorothy Hyman in 1960 at the Olympic Games in Rome. We also discuss the empty seats and issues over the heat and humidity which has been causing issues with some events - although Michael argues that the rain in Yorkshire also posed threats of their own and asks why the hot weather in Qatar has become an obsession when we just shrugged our shoulders at the risks in Yorkshire. Elsewhere, British Canoeing are edging closer to naming their team for the Olympics and there could be one or two shock omissions, notably Rio 2016 champion Joe Clarke, after the results at the recent World Championships. We also have tennis, shooting, trampolining and windsurfing news for you. World Athletics Championships pictures courtesy of Getty Images for The IAAF. Hosted on Acast.
