Warner doesn’t look to be in great form

79.93m, easily through to the final for Katzberg!

Have to admit, with the season she’s been having this isn’t too surprising to me… just didn’t think it would be in the heats

AUDREY LEDUC! 10.95 CANADIAN RECORD HOLY SHIT!

10.95 New NR for Leduc

“In Lane 2, representing Singapore, Alessandra Gasparelli” ?

One of those days I just can’t stop making mistakes today

10.92 for Neita ahead of Jefferson in 10.96. Takacs with a new NR of 11.10!

11.27 for Jacqueline Madogo in the heats of the women’s 100m, unfortunately just 0.01 shy of a Q but a solid time for her.

If you’re talking about Warner, he’s well off his Tokyo marks so far so I wouldn’t consider it an excellent start for him. Neugebauer is right around his PB’s though, glad I picked him as the gold medal winner on my prediction contest.

10.95 for Alfred!

Relaxed 10.94 opener for Richardson in the women’s 100m heats

It’s not all about that though, it’s about how strong athletes are in each event. Let’s say Kaul is middle of the standings after the first day, he would have a really good chance at getting on the podium because he has a much stronger second day. Neugebauer has been right around his PB in his first two events, while Warner is a fair bit off his marks in Tokyo (10.12, and 8.24m) I think 8950+ will be enough for gold, so he’ll really need to improve on at least a couple of his Tokyo marks if he’ll want to contend for gold.

Yep sorry

Damian Warner only with 7.79m in the long jump portion of the decathlon. Yeah, that’s not going to cut it.

Sam Schachter/Dan Dearing defeat Horl/Horst in straight sets and advance to the knockout round! First win at the Olympics for Schachter in two Olympic appearances, well deserved

That’s not something you hear often in diving

Philibert-Thiboutot finishes 14th in his heat in the men’s 1500m Well off his best, with a 3:36.92. Doesn’t bode well for Desgagnes or Fafard (his training partners)

Haugh fouls out in men’s hammer throw i

Wait a minute… does anyone know if Moloney skipped the 100m? It would be a really puzzling decision for a decathlon, but I’m not seeing his name on any of the heats results

Only 5th for Nowicki, with a best throw of 76.32m Should be enough to make the final however.

Final is going to be good

PB for Kharun as well!

Nuguse only 5th in his 1500m heat

Rowan Hamilton with a new PB of 77.78m in men’s hammer throw
