Stano was injured in the race walk world team championships and because of that Italy only had one spot (thanks to Fortunato and the other lady, but sadly they were not allowed to use their spot and the clearly not entirely fit Stano was chosen ).

Harsh. 
 

(I don’t remember her name either, but shhh)

Not the best run from Skrzyszowska but she finished 3rd and makes SF.

 

Big crash for Jenneke but she finished and will be in repechages.

After a second stumble, but yeah, she got there eventually

Giorgi?

Jenneke seemed to just push the second barrier after she fell, instead of jumping over it. Probably won't throw the rulebook at her, but seemed a bit iffy.

Lavin into the semis, as expected, but still

Our commentator is burying the women's javelin and i mean burying 

 

"The women's javelin, one of the few disciplines, which has regressed dramatically in the past years. Not only results wise, but name wise. There are no recognizable names. Everyone in athletics knew Barbora Špotáková, Christina Obergföll, Mariya Abakumova, Steffi Nerius. You could name them in your sleep. Now, who are the stars in the javelin? You don't know, as they are all bland. "
