When you enter Koch & Kratochvilova territory this is either straight up insane or some questions will be asked!

Fastest 400m since 1985!!! I'm dead!

Shit!!! 48,14!!!!

Well, Baumgart in Lane 2 and Swiety in Lane 9. I'd say they'd have a better chance for a good result if they switched lanes. Long-legged Baumgart tends to do better on the outside lanes tbh.

Van der Plaetsen who looked gimpy since the start can actually finish in Top 10?

so, before the last 1500m run...

 

Uibo 7869 pts (PB over 1500m, 4.25)

Warner 7854 pts (PB over 1500m, 4.24)

Kaul 7850 pts (PB over 1500m, 4.15)

Shkurenyov 7826 pts (PB over 1500m, 4.24)

Lepage 7796 pts (PB over 1500m, I don't know)

LePage PB 4:48, SB 4:59

Thomas-Dodd over 20 meters but fouled. She can't believe it.

It used to be very common back in the days when athletics was still amateur for US sprinters to go to one Olympics,, get medals, and then go into the NFL and leave athletics for ever. Relando Nehemiah did it when he was WR Holder in the 110h, then went back to athletics after four-five years in the NFL.

 

Well, not so much the women.

Well, Bob Hayes is still the gold standard here.

Just now, phelps said:

 

maybe he has some family ties with the army, but personally he's a pro athlete (sponsored by Adidas) and a Florida Gators student (he was supposed to be part of the American Football team -he was recruited for that, as he was one of the top prospects coming from the high school football system- but finally he decided to go for the T&F career rather than AF...at least for now...maybe if he wins in Tokyo next year he could leave T&F a switch back to football)...

Well, Marquise Goodwin plays in the NFL now so maybe I get to see Holloway on the gridiron one day?

Just now, bestmen said:

No , the french is 

If he salutes to the anthem it's quite clearly a sign he's in the military system.

Is Holloway a member of the US Army?

Women's shot put about to start.

Good time to point out it's the oldest NR in athletics (June 1976)

Going to be one of the longest court cases in World history.

He punched him in the back. This will be rather short case.

Stonewall DQ for F. Ingebrigtsen.

Apparently Orlando Ortega will receive the 110H bronze medal too.

IAAF & European Athletics have confirmed this on twitter.

Wiesiolek equals his PB - 4,90. Maybe he can finish in the Top 10 after all?

Haratyk down and out.

Just now, hckosice said:

also Haratyk still virtually out...did the conditions changed so much ?

Haratyk is dealing with a finger swelling since early September. He basically throws off four fingers. It's on him and not the conditions.

Thiam didn't even bother to take the third throw. Clearly the elbow is an issue.

Meanwhile Haratyk's finger is an issue too. He might struggle to even make the final.

Thiam 48,04. You can call the competition off...

KJT 43,93 PB. It's looking good for the BBC hype!

Maybe they try to make them more urban? 

But Doha & the entire country is just one huge desert anyway?

We have a number of guys over 22m and several other well over 21,50 this season so the Q standard here seems extremely generous tbh. If you can't throw 20,90 you're basically a modern day scrub.

Well, I didn't pick Mayer to win any medal so I just waited for this injury to derail his event like the whole season already.

My podium was Warner - Kaul - Victor

No way Mayer does anything in the PV with that hamstring.
