Wilkinson goes to the box too.

Stano going to the penalty box. That's his medal chances gone.

Btw, Gardiner is now the 6th fastest 400m all-time but not WL since Norman run 0,03 faster in April.

van Niekerk, M.Johnson, Reynolds, Wariner & Norman are Top 5.

No real difference between Belarus, Poland and Germany either.

It's not Germany, it's Preussen!

Like KJT. Oh wait  

They blew it hard on Miller-Uibo too.

Btw, does anyone know why Colombian vests feature no yellow at all? It's the most prominent color on their flag.

BBC site called Fred Kerley "a clear favorite". Another hype gone rogue

Gardiner run away with it! Zambrano silver!

I guess we have another Slovakia/Slovenia situation here, luckily those countries dont appear in international competitions very often.

Your ignorance was exposed nonetherless

He continues the great tradition of sudanese athletics, now that Farah is gone.

Farah was from Somalia, not Sudan

Interesting how eastern europe is dominating the high jumps. It plays into their natural strengths (of not having enough food), i wonder why africa isnt any better in high jump?

Because Africa only cares about middle & long distance running High jump requires technique, running does not.

Both Russians fail at 2,37 first time. This looks to be over now!

Akimenko & Ivanyuk are 2.35 PB already. No way they can steal this?

Barshim 2,37 WL first time!

Nice to see qatari fans being so passionate about the african championships in mens 3000 m SC.

Who is Girma?

He will turn 19 next month. has a gazillion of these guys in the desert

still rules! By 0,01!

Girma blew it on the last hurdle. That was horrible technique.

Dead heat!

Barshim 2,35m first time! This could be gold medal right there!

pushing the pace in the 3000 SC.

McLaughlin could well be the Olympic Champion next year though. 52,23 at age 20!

Muhammad WR!!! 52,16!

McLaughlin FTW?

Both know it's their only chance of a track medal, so they concentrate on it.

I'd expect Japan to make the final but China is an upset IMO.

and all OUT!  beat by 0.005

and into the final!

The last runner took off waaaayyy too early. Let's see if the zone limit sticks?
