 Van Klinken didn't qualify to the final! What a disappointment...

True, crazy that the Netherlands still have two medal contenders in this event. Van Klinken should be able to bounce back with a gold in shot put. Overall the Netherlands have more than enough gold medal contenders left, so this shouldn't be a huge blow for them, especially because Seedo's result was much more important. If Seedo (who reminds me of SAFP a lot) keeps progressing at this rate, she should be in the dutch relay in Tokyo next year and in a couple of years she could be a medal contender at the global stage, not sure whether Van Klinken has the same kind of talent.

Congratulations Van De Velde on being annoying af

 

Finally some good news for Lithuania though as Valinčius qualifies to the 3000m SC final and Alekna should be safe for the Discus final as well now

And Galvydytė ran a SB of under 59s in the 400m Hurdles. Perhaps she goes even further in the semi-final, would be great to have another finalist.

Femke Bol (400m hurdles W) and Onyema Agadiga (200m M) ran great qualifiers, looking very promising.

 

Zoe Sedney is running her 200M qualifiers now and Seedo's final is tonight. Could prove to be a good day for the Dutch.

Could have been even better if women's discus worked out as expected.

Yeah I really hope Van Klinken gets her revenge in shot put. I haven't seen any interviews, so no idea what went wrong.

 

 

Finals seem to be going on still, but no throws come close to Van Klinken's PB. At least Van Daalen is in 3rd right now. She's at least a year younger, but probably the 2nd biggest Dutch talent in the throwing events.

Impressive display by the Italian sprinters too.
