:USA Fred Kerley DQ’d in the men’s 100m! :yikes::redcard::finger:
 

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 :facepalm:

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

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

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

 

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