Fun Fact: With  officially participating in Athletics at these Olympics,  now becomes the only active NOC to have never sent a representative in Athletics to the Olympics.

I'm sure World Athletics would be more than happy to award one of Bhutan's archers a 100m quota in future.

Do y'all also have Renaud Lavillenie in your picks? I'm watching the highlights of the athletics on Dutch NOS, where we heard this beauty:

 

"Menno Vloon competes in pole vault, where the Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie is the big man and the big question is whether he will qualify."

 

Duplantis who?!

Thompson with a super easy 10.76  Although, easy....she seemed to be breaking hard in the end  

 

And Del Ponte to the final, wow! Asher-Smith has got herself a problem.

Elaine Thompson 10.76 dear god

[dcro 10,210]

That was some uphill running from ETH.

Del Ponte was sharp as a knife at the start.

Hope Flo-Jo is not going down tonight, though.

I doubt their want to break that themselves. It raise a lot of questions.

I feel weird about that: I'd be both happy and unhappy for that to happen
