Nagle włączyliśmy 5 bieg. Zaczynam wierzyć, że Andrejczyk uda się zdobyć medal. Do tego siatkarze i obaj młociarze i może dociągniemy do 10. Jeszcze osada 470, która musiałaby mocno zawalić wyścig medalowy żeby spaść z podium? Już nawet nie liczę czwórki kobiet w kajakarstwie.

Only the 5th time wins two medals in the same event at the same Olympic Games (3x weightlifting 1960, 1964, 1968, 1x pole valult 1980)

Joanna Fiodorow (hammer) announced her retirement after finishing 7th in the Olympic final.

Thank you for saying GBR are a powerhouse - we haven’t won a medal in the event since 1960. 

Yes, but Asher-Smith's presence makes you a medal contender. Funnily enough the British 800m women got hot only after Semenya got banned (Muir's lack of sprint finish doesn't make her a medal threat at 800m global champs IMO).

The only way she will compete in Paris is if CAS overturns the inevitable ban that is coming.

Yes, unlike 800 the 200 is one event where you can upset all three powerhouses at the same time (USA, GBR and Jamaica). That might be too much to overcome.

BBC live ticker hasn't even mentioned Mboma once yet All about Thompson & Thomas there.

If WA allows Mboma to compete in Paris, she will break FGJ WR there 100%. She would have beaten Marita Koch's 400m too if only allowed.

This is where Semenya played it smart. She was just slow enough not to threaten Kratochvilova's WR hence she was allowed to keep her London & Rio medals.

SAFP will be totally bitching about Mboma. Totally.

Thompson 21,53!!! SAFP 4th!!

I'd say Thompson wins, SAFP silver, Mboma 3rd and Ta Lou 4th... again.

Four medals for today. We finally look remotely respectable!!

Some Japanese fan tried to write "Go ahead, Anita" and he came up with "Get a break, Anita" translation

Gold and bronze for   Wlodarczyk & Kopron!!!

We still rule the hammer!!!

DeAnna Price finished 8th. What a total failure.

NR for Hodgkinson 1:55,88 and silver. Well done @Orangehair43 , she proved to be the best of the British trio!

Malwina Kopron 75,49!!! 1-2 for

Mu takes it going away!!

lost the second medal at the death!

Wlodarczyk 78,48!!!

DeAnna Price squeaks through in 8th place.

Bianca Ghelber improves her PB after 11(!) years to occupy 4th place at half-distance.

Wlodarczyk putting the hammer down... literally. 77,44.

So Lyles as FL will be on Lane 9 in final? Or Lane 3? I assume the slower FL will be in Lane 2?

Brooke Andersen down in 9th place and out of the final. That's a mild upset.
