Football and athletics are poles apart, yet there is an echo of sorts in the return of the Great Britain track and field team from the World Championships in Berlin yesterday, having performed well beyond expectation.

For a team that was supposed to be critically weakened by injuries to its key components, the British squad in Berlin had a remarkably successful nine days. A final haul of six medals, one more than performance director Charles van Commenee had predicted, left GB eighth in the medal table , with their best medal haul since 1999. Beyond that simple statistic, however, there are several more complex...

As the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Berlin come to an end, I would like to moan (again) about the demise of Nigerian sports. With the ascent and domination of Jamaica in world athletics, especially in track and field events, it is sad that Nigeria went to this major definitive world sports event and will return with not a single medal, whatever the colour. There we are glued in front of our...

"I have to say, I'm a compassionate man...." I didn't need to listen to any more on this morning's 9 am phone-in on Radio 5 about the release of the Libyan, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, from Scotland.
