I thought perdita said they were the same day in Paris ?

Nvm, I was looking at the 4x400m relay. Yes, they are on the same day but different sessions though so hopefully he can still run or we can produce another competent sprinter before then

 Day 9 Schedule (WA's live results page was having a funeral earlier today, sorry no morning session )

 

Evening Session

Women's 4x400m Heat 1- 10:55AM PST / 1:55PM EST

Decathlon Javelin Group A/B- 11:10AM PST / 2:10PM EST (Pierce LePage/Damian Warner)

Women's Shot Put Final- 11:15AM PST / 2:15PM EST (Sarah Mitton)

Men's 800m Final- 11:30AM PST / 2:30PM EST (Marco Arop)

Decathlon 1500m- Heats are TBD, start time is 12:25PM EST / 3:25PM EST (Pierce LePage/Damian Warner)

 

Barring disaster, it looks like LePage will win gold, ahead of Warner. Warner just can't seem to get a World Championship gold medal... he'll most likely need a huge PB in the javelin, or LePage to record a best mark of around 57m (And be in the 63ms) to be in contention.

Women's 4x400m relay through to the final

Great run by Canada in the W400 relay!  Even though the commentators refuse to talk about them (only Jamaicans, Poles and Dutch).

You guys think Sutherland will be used for the final?

I really don't know.  She's looked good.
