Apparently the first time since 2015 that Thiam has not medaled in a heptathlon she competed in.

Since 2016 in a main event, according to my database

I'm literally disgusted by today's 20km running events (just can't say "race walking")

wasted time...

frankly, it doesn't make sense to keep this farce in the T&F schedule

Do you remember when the (at that time) IAAF wanted to introduce sensors for race walk and most of the athletes answered with a letter saying that selling beer to the public along the road was more important for the future of the discipline?

It's the only decent way we've found to ensure that DNFs end up at the bottom of the rankings every single time

and Emma have the medal.  

 

It is so rare, that I have to share it before another 10 years of droughts again

And that's the medal for O'Connor basically sealed  

 

Looked like it from the very beginning, amazing event for her.

And if I remember her 800 correctly, she should be the favourite to win silver at this point.

She absolutely is, yes. Kind of was already after yesterday, but by now definitely, gold and silver should be done and dusted if nothing super weird happens.
