He already won the Commonwealth Games, and he was actually the favorite for 2017 Worlds before he got injured that year. He would have been the 2019 Pan Am favorite, and still will be a huge favorite in Doha.

 

Yeah, the Commonwealth Games do not count as a global event in my book.

 

Warholm, Samba and Rai are better than him, so he looks to be an outsider for a medal. Additionally, he very much flopped at his first Worlds in 2017...

Sofia Ennaoui achieved standard for both World Champs and Olympic Games already at her first start in this season

Wonder what Hassan is gonna show in the 5K tomorrow. She has been in excellent shape.

 

Was also very impressed by Laura Muir in the 1500m again.

BBC talking about Johnson-Thompson vs Thiam being such an epic fight, even though Thiam nowadays is like 5 levels above KJT  

 

Meanwhile, 6.74m long jump and yet another personal and national record for Thiam.

6.86m for Thiam

I don't know what these decathletes, or in this case triathletes, have eaten for breakfast, but I want it! 

 

 

Spoiler

I know it's a mistake. It's the shot put results instead of the long jump results.
