 Vetter pulls out of the heptathlon after the long jump 

Yeah, she already seemed somewhat injured after the high jump and never really got in contention for the medals at all. Judging by how she looked sitting there on the stands, she's not exactly heartbroken, probably saw it coming for a while already

Justice done to South Africa in the 4x400m - they get advanced

 

Nigeria DQF lane violation.

What kind of justice?   had better timings than .

 

From next time, teams would like to intentionally tripple in their lanes and demand qualification to the next round.

Amusan back to her normal level. Her short peak coincided with skipping tests. 🧐

Tebogo: "I can't be the face of athletics, because I'm not loud and arrogant like Noah."

 

Lyles: "I want to congratulate Tebogo and Bednarek on an amazing 200m final."

 

Come on Tebogo, don't pull that shit, I want to keep liking you  

I liked this by Lyles:

Whether you were rooting for me or against me, you have to admit you watched, didn’t you? 😉

 

Gonna be asking my colleague whether he watched, after my vacation  

Who knows what is behind the scenesmaybe Tebogo has a strong reason to say that

It easy to see why he might think Lyles is loud and arrogant.

Sure, it just doesn't make Tebogo look better when mentioning it that way in a press conference  

 

Only reason to say something like this is to try and create some drama

The way he said it makes me thing he wasn’t intentionally trying to take a dig at Lyles, I think he’s trying to say that he has a more “out there” and bigger personality, compared to him who’s more reserved. English isn’t his first language, so maybe it was a mischoice of words, but even if it wasn’t he’s not wrong? I’m sure some Lyles fans would probably agree with him.
