Summary
Welcome to day six of 10 Days In Paris. The Running Channel podcast trio dive into their experiences of the drama and chaos of yesterday's thrilling events in Paris.
Andy couldn't believe his eyes when George Mills collided with French athlete Hugo Hay in the final lap of his 5000m heat. Sarah was left in disbelief as GB's Matthew Hudson-Smith was pipped to gold by USA's Quincy Hall in the agonisingly close Men's 400m final. And Rick sipped cocktails at a Parisian café, casually flipping through a copy of his favourite magazine.
Stay tuned for some science and a lot of banter. Let the games begin!

| 0:37.8 | Let's get into it. |
| 0:43.3 | So Sarah, you're in the stadium, you see a mum getting emotional and then you tap her on the shoulder and you say, who are you |
| 0:56.0 | looking out for? Yeah. So I was sat in the stands and the women's 1500 metre repeshage was about |
| 1:02.5 | to happen. Now, we had a row of Irish fans sitting behind us and Sophie O'Sullivan was in the first |
| 1:09.3 | heat of the reposage. Now, someone then came and sat in front of us |

| 1:22.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:23.1 | Incredible athletic achievements. |
| 1:25.5 | And what's incredible is that |
