Still, it's pretty disappointing when so many strong delegations skip this event Getting medals for some athletes will be super easy.

Which is why this is of course a fun event to watch, but unfortunately nothing too serious.

Sure, but a big part of the best U18 athletes in the world is missing. Imagine the 1500m at the world champs without Makhloufi, Kiprop, Kiplagat etc....it's still a strong race, but definitely not great.

Maaaan, scary finish from our 800m. runner. Now if only he wouldn't stay in the back for the first 700m. of the race, we could perhaps challenge for the final

I know the scooping of water ceremony was pretty entertaining to watch, but I'm already very keen for the shot put to start

[Werloc 3,171]

3000m. just got more attempts than a High Jump competition

[Werloc 3,171]

It was a very intriguing shot put final with the last two throws from the German and Chinese girls.

Edit: The 4 hour decathlon high jump was pretty fun as well

again bad organization putting 800 m and 1500 m in the same day and we lost one sure medal  in 800
