That sucks. Although in Makwala's case first I thought it was an excuse to skip the 200 yesterday, but later it turned out he wanted to run but IAAF said he couldn't..

Jared Tallent has withdrawn from the 50 km walk (he says because of an harmstring injury sustained while training in St. Moritz).

Yeah, Canada obviously only accepted him and his family as a refugee because they saw the potential of a 10 year old boy. Would you rather he spend his entire life in a Kenyan refugee camp?

Makwala is out of the 400m

Sadly I think even a Kenyan refugee camp is better than living in Somalia, or at least can't be much worse. Farah Ahmed and Mead in that final all from Somalia immigrated for a better life
