People have been hyping Zrinka up for years now. 

Well, the Ana Jelusic story proves hype can derail fast. She's in an awkward spot, there will be no immediate competition like it is in the powerhouse nations but also no chance to sneak under the radar. It's anyone's guess how will she cope with the looming spotlight. Filip Zubcic had a terrible season tbh and that's another cautionary tale.

Andreja Slokar wins! Duerr only 2nd. Ljutic 5th!

Top 10 for Zrinka Ljutic guaranteed!

Hopefully Fialkova hangs on... six seconds with 1,4 kms to go.

Mahuchikh clears 2,02 first time.

Biathlon sure leads in retirements this year. I still don't understand how Hammerschmidt completely tailed off after her injury? Unless the tendon inflammation was chronic and basically a career-killer like Kournikova or Golovin in tennis before.

I’m so mad I can’t see this. Will miss Mondo tomorrow too. 

What happened?

Great run from the kid! Maybe Croatia has something cooking for real.

Also, can Lena Duerr hold her nerve for once or is she the next Holdener?

Graversgaard wins her heat! The magic of the hurdles! 

It's a shame TV director thought she was Dutch

Heat 4 was another mess. Two DNS and DNF at the first hurdle.

Former World Champion Danielle Williams with an epic failure in the 60H heats

Greece might have played it's hand at athletics IWC but there's still a big match on Sunday as Maria Sakkari takes on Iga Swiatek in the Indian Wells final. Winner will rise to #2 in the WTA rankings @Makedonas

DeShaun Watson won't be facing jury trial for his sexual harrasement case (still 22 civil lawsuits to be settled) and he toured several teams this week before finally choosing Cleveland Browns. Things got really serious in the AFC. Browns were allegedly out on the Watson trade but then Baker Mayfield threw a tantrum requesting a trade so Browns got back and beat Falcons & Saints which were rumoured to be the two most likely candidates (basically Falcons in the end).

Swoboda utterly messed that up.

Yeah, very bad start and then it was all over.

Kambundji beats everyone for 60m gold! The old reliable.

Very slow women's 3k and Purrier St. Pierre (who?) splits two Ethiopians for silver.

Noor Vidts wins gold, new Polish NR for Sułek 4,851! (U. Włodarczyk's old record was 4,808).

Mills missed bronze medal by 7 points

Adrianna Sułek with a huge NR and silver medal in the pentathlon!

Tentoglou 8,55 in the second round

This makes it look ever worse:

How the hell is that a no jump from Tentoglou?

Bring back the plaster!

Bol was super lucky. She tripped close enough to the finish line she actually fell after the line

It's clear the judges didn't even look at the athletes but only at the timing line. But they finally DQ Payton. Nonetherless this is a complete joke with the original decision. Stevie Wonder would do a better job.

What a joke. Perez gets DQ because the girl in Lane 8 moved first. An absolute joke.

Hawkins blows it with three NM.

Swoboda wins 60 SF1 ahead of Sant-Price.

Evening session has started. Sułek 6,43 PB in first round of long jump.
