52.37, insane!! Just above the old world record. 400 hurdles Men AND Women will be highlights at the Tokio Games.

 

As well a stunning time for Ryzhykova , 52.96 NR. She comes closer to Bol every race ... 

Yeah , Anya is good athlete)

[Grassmarket 4,029]

Incredibly high standard in the women’s 800m also.

[Grassmarket 4,029]

So not actually a 1:35 WR in the men’s 800m, then?  

[Grassmarket 4,029]

Another  NR for dos Santos.  Everything goes wrong for McMaster after 300m.

[Grassmarket 4,029]

Masilingi  sets a NR in the 200m after being shifted down from the 400m.

[Jinzha 702]

She just keeps improving! SuperBol!

[Monzanator 4,768]

It's funny since I always considered Kim Batten's WR as the "old" WR

 

I thought Femke Bol would have more chance for a medal at 400m given all the mess down there but maybe she can actually sneak one in 400h?

Not sure why you thought that she would have a better chance over 400 m. She wouldn’t have had a chance to beat Miller-Uibo, Masilingi, Mboma, Naser or Mu. Now that 4 of them are gone, she would have had a better chance, but it will probably still take 49.5 to medal, which is clearly faster than her PB. Over 400 m hurdles she will win a medal if she can repeat a time of 52.5 or faster.

So Ryzhykova improved by more than 1 second over 400 m as a 32 year old?

Preview for tomorrow’s Monaco DL. Has been the best meet on the circuit for a few years & looks good again.
