For the final time, welcome to 10 days in Tokyo on day 9, with me, Rick Kelsey, him Andy Badly and her, Sarah Hartley.

We did it, we've got to the end, but does it not feel weird, Rick, that we're saying day nine and it's actually the end of 10 days? Now we've completed it. I get it.

Excellent. It has genuinely been incredible nine days here at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, and it felt really fitting somehow that as the curtain came down on all the action last night, it was hammering it down with rain, giving us lots of interesting things to talk about. But throughout the week we've seen a world records and

championship records, all of those sort of things. It's been incredible. It's been so good. Thank

you so much to Essex as well for supporting us throughout this entire week. And let's get into

the last day of action. It's Rain and Men was played in the stadium.

Was it actually?

Another phenomenal music choice to match the mood.

I just love the roly sponges that came out to mop up the track.

Oh yeah, who knew this existed?

Do you know a flaw in it, though?

So imagine like a roller that you use to like flatten your driveway. Or paint with. Or paint. Yeah. That's what they have to mop up a wet track. And it's bits the water out into basically a big bucket behind it. I don't think the bucket was big enough. I think that's where they went wrong. Yeah. And just emptying it back out on the track. Doesn't actually help. I think they had drainage funnel.

They need storage.

Two, they need a bigger bucket.

And three, I put some of the videos up on,

or different clips up.

And so many people were messaging me like,

why are there four people standing behind the person who's pushing it?

No one knows.

Maybe it's an activity where you need moral support.

Yeah, one person pushed the roller, but three gave moral support.

And in front of those four, there was one person with effectively a massive bathroom squeegee, just pushing water along the track.
