Simon Pettersson threw the discus out to the track. Just luck not a race was going on. 

I’m remembering that it was here in Rome that someone once got a javelin through the leg. 
 

Looked it up - Pitkamaki the thrower. Salim Sdiri the long jumper the victim.

Tamberi not really in form this year yet.  Needs to get his beard issues sorted out, I think.

Oslo tonight: sadly missing 50% of the main home-field  attraction, but still a lot to look for. Always one of the best meets for crowds and atmosphere.

Wet & chilly looking in Oslo, so I doubt we’re going to get the big  Duplantis jump here. Should be good for the middle distance races though.

No, good for him, the weather clears a bit & he gets 6.02WL.

 

Jas a couple of goes at 6.10 but not really determined.

Justyna Swiety no longer ‘s top 400m runner, but I doubt that anyone in Poland or indeed Europe has a better sun tan.

The one day in the DL season so far when you have perfect conditions for the Vault &  Duplantis ain’t there.

Bol takes another Diamond League win, but this time it's the Australian one in the men's 800m.

 

Happy to see PB's by Klaver in the 400m (50.80) and Van Diepen in the 800m (1:44.14)

 

Edit: apparently the 800m was originally won by  Benjamin Robert but he was disqualified.

In the live results, Robert is back in the results. And very strong from Shelly
