The problem with the heats format means that you can't make a late substitution either.

All of a sudden, Portugal look guaranteed the win.

Leon Reid .... last minute withdrawal

Phil Healy....last minute withdrawal

Thomas Barr.... not n form due to recent injury

Women's 4x100m relay.... in last 50m, our last runner had "technical issues" and lost ground

Sarah Lavin....DNF in women's 100m Hurdles

Sophie Becker.... DNS in women's 200m final

 

Who is playing voodoo on our sprint team

The high jumper looks so pissed after her successful attempt on 175, probably because she must still compete

Finally we are starting our very slow climb out of last place, possibly. Something to cheer for? Perhaps. Although, this is what is expected. With Andriukaitytė, Galvydytė, Palšytė, Gudžius, Piliušina, Morenaitė and Petrokaitė we would have even survived relegation.

Dutch pole vaulter probably no score. This day is getting worse and worse. After being one of the favorites prior to the tournament, we now have to settle for 4th.

 

EDIT: and just when I hit 'Post' he actually made it in his third attempt.

Scratch that whole 'overtaking Slovakia' part, I've just noticed we still have women's long jump, 5000 metres and men's 4x400. That's nearly guaranteed 3 points for us there.

the dutch girl in HJ must weigh some 20 kg, dear lord, she need to eat something...

It saddens me to see how much Márton is struggling lately. I hope she will get better for the next season because we don't have many medal chances in Athletics, and she obviously needs 19m throws instead of these 17m ones if she wants another Olympic medal.

Ireland now just 0.5 of a point in the relegation zone!
