Not a great performance for Warholm. Honestly, he seemed almost physically relaxed and not completely in shape.

Agree.  That was not great for a man who is always fussy about lane draw.

Karalis decides to skip 5.55, Duplantis clears 5.55 with ease and skip on to 5.75.  Honestly, I expect a great race, so they'd better not disappoint me

Clarke survives as the last FL. and also progress as FL.

Seems like Clarke made it as last q. Dumber than dumb, but he'd escape then..

Szymański flops in the 110H heats. Simply looked slow this time for a change

Had forgotten about it, but Dutch commentator just mentioned it: Steve Hooker became world champion in 2009 with literally only 3 jumps in his entire championship  

 

5.65m in qualifying in one attempt

Failed his opening height of 5.85m in the first try, skipped straight to 5.90m. Made that in one try (his third jump of the entire competition, including qualifying) and nobody beat it

Yeah had it in mind when Crowser was competing but he spoilt it!

He did show why the whole discussion about removing the bar and having an entire 'take-off area' is absolute bullshit: he timed his take-off to perfection, +0.1cm, which is very much a part of being a good long jumper.

Furlani in poor shape
