Well running low 50's with a lot of pain promises a lot for Rio in case she's out of pain by then.. 

 

in case... sure, but she's been injured for few months already, so hopefully she will be fully recovered by rio

According to Russian media IAAF decided to reject disqualification of 10 Russian athletes. They can start at the Olympics.
And they can start at European championship with neutral flag.
But there are no names.

Whole lot of big stuff happening in the past moments...

 

9.83 and 9.86 (legal) for Gatlin and Bromell, 10.74 (too much wind) for Gardner and Bowie.

Felix wins the 400m in 49.68 even though apparently she's not fit yet.

 

Meanwhile in Jamaica, both Thompson and SAFP pulled out of the 200m final. Apparently Thompson asked for a medical exception and could still be added to the team, but SAFP did not.

No Okolo or McCorory for the US 400m team. World Indoor medallists Spencer and Hayes didn't make it either. Allyson Felix, Phyllis Francis, and Natasha Hastings are going to Rio.

 

Meanwhile on the Men's side LaShawn Merritt just blasted a 43.97 and McQuay misses out

Federation has announced 66 names for Brazil at the Olympics, biggest number since Atlanta (42 athletes). Maybe some athletes (like Duda) will be added by ranking.

6 men have now jumped over 8.30m in the long jump final, wtf 

 

The record in one competition was 4 men and that barely ever happened...let alone 5...or 6!

[heywoodu 15,250]

10.74 Gardner, 10.78 Bartoletta and Bowie, what a level  

 

+1 m/s wind, so this time it's way inside legal limits.
