If Hall can still go crazy on the 800, she should have this in the bag. Battle for bronze is also quite interesting, the weak ones on the javelin are higher up on the standings.

Yes but her LJ marks don't bode well for the rest of her heptathlon...

 

She's been in 6.50m+ form this season but couldn't get anywhere near it today.

I’d agree that’s an example of a bad mixed relay. For swimming, I’d drop the gendered 4x100 Free and 4x200 Free in favor of mixed relays, but leave the mixed medley gendered, since it makes more sense in that format.

Anyone noticed how Brazil has a bunch of athletes (often full quota per event), but their athletes are often just not competitive at all? How did they qualify all of them?

Continental Champions got an automatic invitation, no matter what their PB is

 

they just take advantage of that new rule

Back on schedule for Lovett. 2.18 clearance on his first attempt (Also an =SB  but a disappointing one at that)

Depends on what the injury is really. Her 200 wasn't too great either, so she is definitely at risk.

Czech bronze made really miracles, Krsek just beat Deadmon

 Bryce Deadmon out. Not a great session for the US
