Adrianna Sułek did finished full heptathlon today, just her second start at all after pregnancy and she already scored 6033 points, about 600 points less than her personal best, now she will compete in 100m hurdles and high jump in next week national championships in order to prepare for Paris. I'm mentioning about this, as today, on her instagram account, she mention that yet 4 and half months ago she was on labour ward and born her boy by caesarean section(!)  Even if she won't be in top8 in Pairs, not mentioning about medal, she is winner already

Wide open for the Olympic medals now. Assuming Rogers and Price win gold and silver (no particular order), there’s a whole bunch of names that could win bronze. Wlodarczyk, Fantini, Skydan, Kosonen, Marglieva just to name a few.

Wait a minute,  KC Lightfoot out in men’s pole vault qualifying 

[Josh 7,822]

5 men under 9.90 in the men’s 100m semifinals 

 

Ridiculous. 

 

Noah Lyles is the top qualifier with 9.80,  Kenny Bednarek 2nd in 9.82, Christian Coleman 3rd in 9.86,  Courtney Lindsey 4th in 9.88, and Fred Kerley 5th in 9.89.

Another surprise as  Ajee Wilson fails to advance to the women’s 800m final.
