Sorry that 77.54 throw was in competition and that means he has hit the World Championships standard.

Sarah Mitton with a huge personal best in the shot put with a 20.33m throw at nationals!! wow

[intoronto 5,771]

4 women under 52 in the 400m! Can't recall the last time that happened. Coincidentally those 4 will be going to the Commonwealth games (and presumably the Worlds)

Canada's u20 world's team announced:https://athletics.ca/thirty-three-athletes-selected-to-team-canada-for-world-u20-championships/

 

I think for first time ever there is a competitor in both triple jump events

[orangeman 2,007]

Sarah Mitton finishes 4th due to countbacks in shotput.  I'd like to be surprised by another 4th, but I'm just numb now.  Great performance anyway.  

[james89 871]

I'm pleasantly surprised that all 3 Canadians made it through to the semis in the 1500m. 

[Topicmaster1010 4,311]

4th in the marathon . Amazing result for Levins though!

[orangeman 2,007]

Does CBC not have playbacks of events?  All the finals are at like 3am for me.  

[intoronto 5,771]

What an insane session for Canada tonight. The agony and the win...amazing.
