 Broadbell with a crash on the hurdles and is out

Another one bites the dust.   110m H favourite Broadbell bites the plastic.

 

Yokochi might get a re-run or promotion.

More countries can field a competitive team in the mixed 4x4 than the single gender 4x4s so I don't see them getting rid of it.

I don't think so...the mixed relay has  (despite they try to slight it everytime in every way) and  (despite yesterday's accident) way, way above the rest of the field (and with this format it also has another problem...the women are way too important compared to the men, having a strong woman finishing the last leg is way more decisive than anything else)

 

the gender relays (at least the men's) are way more competitive than that sh*t

Are these WC going to be subpar for the US like it was in swimming? 

I fear (for them), yes 

 

but it's not the first time it happens, it's their attitude...save as much as you can for the Olympic campaign (an Olympic medal is the only chance for the US athletes to change their life and try to pursuit a truly professional career in athletics, anything else is just not so important)

KJT 5710, Vetter 5684, Hall 5667 before the last event so Hall has to beat KJT in 800 by ca. 3 seconds.
