I hope Ta Lou can spoil Jamaican 1-2-3 in 100m but it's a tall order.

Obviously 100 m final needs a privileged introduction.

Dissgraceful that this joke event counts for the medal table.

Lots of B racers in this race though. Or maybe I am little out of touch with t&f these days.

I think most countries didn’t really take it seriously. Poland (as a country with a strong relay pedigree)  did and rightly deserved their gold. The USA and GB were among those who did not.

That's a really cool introduction

GB and the US both having multiple runners in women's 800 m final while doping countries Ethiopia and Kenya only combine for one finalist, but i am sure that it is only due to their great coaches and not their doping programs.

I thought at the previous world championships they did this for all the shorter individual events (so not the ones with large fields)?
