So ... ?
So you have little idea about the event's history

Disgusting result in men's hammer throw. Another medal for a (confirmed) doper. I feel sorry for the french people that they are represented by someone like him.
Also nice by Fajdek to set himself up for another monster choke at the olympics next year.
Expected gold for DAS in the absence of SMU, SAFP, Ta Lou and Thompson. I don't see her winning more than a bronze medal next year, so this probably was a once in a lifetime chance for her. Looking at the other girls in the final i would say that she is the only one with a realistic chance to make the final in Tokyo next year. Absolutely ridiculous to see that 22.51 is enough for bronze, very hard to imagine this not being the worst medal winning performance here. Schippers will probably cry herself to sleep tonight, considering that she probably could have run 22.51 on one leg.
Nope. She'd have won gold in 2001 with that time (after Marion Jones DQ). Debbie Ferguson's time was 22.52

Nowicki blows it and stays 4th. I picked Halasz to win bronze so he better doesn't screw this up!
-
DAS clocked an impressive time even if this was one of the most expected golds at these Champs.
Meanwhile the men haven't won a single WCh medal at 200m since 1993 (John Regis)

Bronze for
The rest is irrelevant.

I have a slim outside hope Kambundji wins a medal here

Why did i predict the gold for Nowicki , he is weak
He's always been Scottie Pippen to Fajdek's Michael Jordan tbh

Bigot 78,19 into second by 1 cm.

She's got 17 meters more in the forecast Plus Thiam is in great long jump shape, so even if she loses a bit on the javelin, she can definitely make it up there.
Yeah, if she matches KJT in the LJ and beats her by ca. 250 pts in JV, she'll have to finish within ca. 10-12 secs of KJT in the 800m. More than manageable.

Meaning Thiam is still the virtual leader.
Yeah, 10 meters in javelin is basically 200 points and it feels like Thiam will gain more than 10 meters on KJT there.
-
Fajdek 80,16m
Cienfuegos only 11th but he's spinning in slo-motion compared to Fajdek.

I told you
So, who is your favorite here? I guess it's not the Egyptian masquarading under flag?
-
Fajdek 79.34m

McLaughlin looked more impressive than Muhammad in the semis tbh.

Which is surprising in itself, since she's without much doubt the world's second best heptathlete of the past few years.
The Russians & Ukrainians are non-existent competition anymore while the US girls are also a little second tier tbh. However you can't have two bad events and count for winning a ton of medals on the global stage. Ennis struggled in SP & JV too but her PBs are significantly better anyway. KJT is just another Kelly Sotherton but even Sotherton's PB in shot is 14,66 (Ennis level) Meanwhile Denise Lewis' worst event was 200m & JV but her SP record was over 16 meters!

I wonder if BBC commentators - like the Dutch - are noobs that only look at the current standings and stuff like "she's xx points behind!" or if they actually use the forecasts like pretty much every avid multi-event follower ever
Forecast is bad for the hype. They tout her as gold medal winner even though she's never won ANY medal at WCh & OG in the heptathlon.
-

I wonder if and when BBC will start to call her the "Silver medal girl"...
She's a silver medal girl in the pentahlon. Not so much in the heptathlon.
PB in shot put means the hype will continue until the end
-
WTF Norman? Dead last.
-

Gold for KJT this time?
Not with this weak-ass shot put & the looming javelin disaster on Day 2
Unless she improves on her final throw in the put, she's giving away ca. 180 pts to Thiam already.
-
hype goes up in smoke too Takayama clipped more hurdles than I can count without the replay.
-
Horrible TV directing. They didn't show Levy impeding Brathwaite.
Pozzi 5th. BBC hype backfires again?
-
Uh-oh! DQ incoming!
-
Rekkie completely died on the home straight... sheesh... no BBC hype for you!
