Ah, apparently there was a technical issue during Krizsan's jump, after which Dokter was cleared to jump. They were however still fixing the issue, leading to there not being a photo of Dokter's take-off, so they couldn't allow her result. It seems they were both allowed another attempt, as they should, but during Krizsan's new attempt another technical issue appeared (but this time the photo showed she was over the line anyway). Dokter wasn't shown anymore, uncertain whether or not she jumped again. That's a real shame though, that seemingly legal jump - just with an unfortunate organizational error - seemed to be at least half a meter better than what she now has as result, that's a ton of points  

Well, there wouldn't be any issue if there was a plaster board and a man with a flag. Obvious evidence that technology is also prone for errors.

 

Adrianna Sułek 42.86 PB in the javelin

Meanwhile Vetter really let a chance go to make a dent in Thiam's large virtual lead after Thiam's long jump...

Miserable attempts from Lisek 

[Monzanator 4,503]

Lisek & Sobera out in PV qualifying. They are totally out of form this season.

I'm a little behind in terms of watching (an hour or so), but wow, Ekaterina Poistogova is back

 

Or well, that's what I remember her as from the years where she was constantly named in the beginning's of the unravelling of Russia's state-sponsored program that eventually lead to Russian athletes being kicked out of sports thanks to their own government. Apparently she married Ramil Guliyev and competes for Turkey now.

Yeah, Ekaterina Poistogova is  Ekaterina Guliyev now I wonder if BBC has noticed that and are bitching about it?

Nope, BBC commentators too busy talking about free food in stadium and bitching about inclusion of sport climbing and urban events to Olympics

Purola going for the 200 freestyle

After bad performances from Galvydytė and Karinauskaitė, at least Truskauskas pulled through...
