It shows GB Athletics are scared of the funding collapse that is coming.

Well, I have to say DAS & KJT are the only two athletes than can be sold as stars. You have the relays too but it's the depth strenght rather than having a clear run away stand out (like even Ohurougu was). Tiffany Porter just isn't quite there on the global scale IMO.

Weisshaidinger 66,65.

I believe I picked him for bronze in the TO contest

Yeah, this is the kind of analysis I'm not interested in, which is why I'd like to hear what an actual expert says. Someone who's not involved with Nigeria or Great Britain at all and who's also not all "big country so it's just because of the flags!", because that stands in the way from seeing the exact rules and exceptions and differences and all those things.

You are very naive. Gabla with a slower reaction time than Prescod and he's also DQ. What more do you need to know about national flag privilege?

Dina Asher Smith has pulled out of the 200m and has explained her major injury issues. 

I'm not surprised. She wouldn't stand a chance in 200m based on her poor 100m run. Perhaps the hamstring injury was more serious though this is far cry from Liu Xiang's Beijing shocking pull out

This is a situation in which I'd really like an actual expert's explanation of it. And not on BBC, because for sure they'll say this is correct, but from a non-involved country  

What is there to explain? has more pivilege than Case closed.

Prescod was nowhere in the end. He shouldn't even be here anyway.

Oduduru gets DQ and he had slower reaction than Prescod. Sigh.

Wrong national flag and you're out!

Reece Prescod gets away with 0,093 reaction time.

Men's discus final about to start. Can Daniel Stahl kill the competition with the first throw?

That is strange. The WA ticker works fine for me.

Guys, which live score are you using btw ? I mean is there soewhere a better live score than the one of the Tokyo official website, which is so complicated and not impractical at all

There's always the WA live timing:

Apparently this is only the second OG gold for in team sports? (men's field hockey in 1976 was the first).

Bromell only 4th in his heat

BBC actually missed the fact are in women's 100m final? Whoa! They must be all on Asher-Smith then

Apparently the  record is only 10.81 (+1.7)...

 

It would be a ridiculous OR, let alone the WR.

Yes, Marlies Gohr in Berlin 1983. Marita Koch had 10,83 in the same race

The BBC have virtually given up on her already. The BBC will struggle once the British press start tearing into the Athletics and how to report all the arguments - the papers will be blaming Diana’s interviews on taking the knee and probably finding an excuse to blame soft coaches. 

I have BBC text live ticker on, Michael Johnson says it will be Race of the Championships? Just three days ago I saw a huge piece about her quest for gold medal too

Asher-Smith OUT!!!

Del Ponter faster than Asher-Smith in SF1. Oops. That wasn't in the BBC's plan for gold?

won the second set vs 25-12

Also absolutely unbelievable US went for Dressel in the 100 free and not a woman. And even worse, also a woman in the breaststroke  

How hard is to count which style for which gender gives you the most advantage?  Breaststroke should be always for men in the mixed relay?

filed a protest and are accepted into the 4x400 mixed relay final. So 9 teams in total. and their 415/385 combo are safe (duh).

No medal for in 4x100 mixed medley relay

Will they blame that on ?

and a class above the rest in this heat

Ouch. takes off at 'Set'
