and now a medal for would be nice

I very much hope so, but I do think it will be a 4th place because of a certain Norwegian who absolutely shouldn't have been in this final...

I don't think we are ever seeing a jump off in a major championship again (unless they change the rules).

Well they definitely should... at least for gold, let them have 2 bronzes whatever. 

 

But there should be only 1 winner. They should go back to lowering the bar, if they can't clear the current height.

Only good thing about this shared thing is we don't end up with 4.50m or something for gold.

I'm still quite uncertain when did the rules change, because Moon had a failure at a higher jump than Kennedy and not at the same height.

 

I remember they used to differentiate between such scores.

Shared gold for  Moon and  Kennedy in the women's pole vault (4.90m), with  Murto winning the bronze (4.80m)

 

NR (4.80m) for  Sutej in 4th.

1) Great atmosphere/crowd, but i hate the schedule.

2) Very impressed by Australia and Ireland so far.

3) Sadly german athletes are barely noticeable ...

They settled for shared gold so jump-off at lower height is voided.

Yeah, but several jump-offs at least are in the rules.

Ya, if we are going to essentially do away with the jump-off then the countback should revert back to the old rule where ties were less common.

So, a cheater won the 400 hurdles. Not the best end
