Ouch. Nothing going right for  Thompson-Herah this season

 Kara Winger is coming out of retirement (last competition was in 2022), with a goal of making the women’s javelin throw Olympic roster one last time!

63.22m in her first meet back.

7.14m!!! 
 

 Tara Davis-Woodhall is on another level in women’s long jump 

[Josh 10,495]

 Fred Kerley DQ’d in the men’s 100m! 
 

Obvious false start, but given that the event is in the United States didn’t think the refs would let that happen. 
 

Edit: Never mind he withdrew because he wasn’t happy with his lane

My reaction to finding out that  Sydney McLaughlin is actually competing in a race

48.75 (of course goes without saying that it’s a WL) for  Sydney McLaughlin in the women’s 400m. HOLY. SHIT.  
 

Edit: 0.05 off the NR by Sanya Richard-Ross as well

McLaughlin-Levrone  has run six races in five different distances this season. She has the world lead in two events, and is second in a third  

 

Edit: Forgot about her first two races at Oxy. Still, impressive though.

19.77 for  Noah Lyles in the men’s 200m into a headwind. 
 

As a DeGrasse fan, I’m worried

Imagine if SML actually went for the 400 and 400H double in Paris.

 

Anna Hall looks to be off form after that injury. Thiam must be loving this...
