World Championship Athletics DOHA 2019

Staggered to see the Women's 100 metre  finals last night taking place in an almost totally empty stadium ! I can understand the Marathon being run at Midnight Dohar time with few spectators for reasons of temperature / humidity but when Dina Asher-smith came second for her Silver medal in the 100 she reacted to the applause from the half dozen in the BBC Commentary Team because she clearly could hear them 'cos there were so very few spectators there !! Dammit It's the atmosphere generated by the spectators that helps the athletes perform to their best.
