Holly Bradshaw "Hurt my back, I think I've torn my hamstring and my wrist is throbbing". "It was a very scary experience [...] I'm not okay to carry on", but will focus on the Commonwealth games

USA usually chooses a second-string for mixed though Norwood is always there and Felix is to vulture the personal medal count but I have no idea who this last female runner was? She completely run into a wall after 360 meters

Something very annoying about the BBC doing interviews over other countries' national anthems

That's the disappointing part.  Our commentators knew we weren't the favorites, they thought Poland would get in there.  But to be in 1st that late and to wind up with bronze.. yea, clearly this race is not a priority for them, but still, what a bummer

So Sweden will not be without medal at least. Congrats Perseus.

Let's pretend there's no Duplantis then  

 

Sweden's chances to leave these championships without a medal were extremely low

US squad is always chosen based on your Nationals. But for the Mixed 4x400 you are looking at places 6-8 in the final.
