We’ve seen an incredible amount of drama at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Birmingham. There have been close battles, suprises, and it’s fair to say a degree of confusion at times.
Not everyone seemed happy on the podium.

Some were just happy to make it thanks to a 300 mile, £1,500 taxi ride.

The weather wasn’t the only thing upside down.

This one is deliberately upside down.
No medals for the Irish at #iaafworlds, but our flag got to do a lap of honour. Murielle Ahoure, winner of the women’s 60m was helped out by Irish fans after being unable to find an Ivory Coast one. pic.twitter.com/dOg7zNp2IS

I wonder if he caught anyone being DQ’d?
Can someone explain this to me? I don’t get it ü§î #IAAFWorlds #wicbham2018 pic.twitter.com/wd8wJtZq2c

Is this a maths equation?
Jamaica, Poland and Ukraine have all filed protest after women’s 4x400m. Ja protesting DQ under rule 218.4, Ukraine claim Poland stepped on kerb and Poland appealing against Ukraine appeal that they stepped on kerb.
