102 athletes have been named in the British team, at least 80 of whom seem to have been selected for relays, but - despite 'the world and his wife' having received the nod (B. Furlong, 2018) - there were still some raised eyebrows and furious tweets. We pick over some of these, along with the events we're most looking forward to watching, the youngsters we think could prove Berlin bolters, and generally get hugely excited for the latest major championship this year (like Ingebrigstens - they just keep on coming...). Oh - and we speak to 'The New Phil' - Jeanette Kwakye - and Commonwealth 810 metre Champion - Kyle Langford. Let us know what you think: @BackstraightB and @Claire_GThomas. Danke.
