Finally a halfway decent jump by Mihambo, despite giving away 8 cm and having a -0.8 m/s headwind. Now only 1 cm behind Reese's lifetime best. If she would have had the same tailwind as Reese (+1.7 m/s) and would have hit the board, then we might have seen a world record.

Interesting progression by the polish guy, improving his PB by more than 2 seconds at the age of 32. Overall this probably was one of the 5 dirtiest events here alongside mens shot put, womens 400 m, womens 1500 m and mens 100 m.
-
Would be a fitting end to this competition if the biggest favorite in an individual event (Mihambo) wouldnt even win a medal. If she doesnt win gold here, i dont see her coming back, given how superior she has been the whole season. This would probably break her.

And next year Christian and Sandra Reitz will follow! -
Very interesting line-up for Japan, no Cambridge and no Koike. Also nice to see that GB had a white guy in there for some diversity.
-
What is the role of Renato Canova in your opinion?
-
Sure, tell that to the clean athletes ...
-
Who was the girl screaming "Let's go" in the background? Edit: Never mind, it was Justin Gatlin.
-
Great time for the mixed (half caught/half not caught (so far)) american 4 x 100 m relay!
-
Lol, i just walk away 10 m, it will take him half a day to catch up with me, probably he will have to stop on his way to get some fast food. Edit: Also sorry for speaking the truth.
-
To be fair there are also more than enough italian coaches/managers over in africa who are more than shady, but for some reason you never talk about them?
-
Thats complete nonsense. They had no girl finishing top 3 here and Hassan or Hooligan didnt even compete.
-
Says the guy who was caught for doping before ...
-
Germany's season best easily would have been enough for silver. Too bad! I think the odds of Germany competing with their best relay in Tokyo are 100:1.
-
The girl Gemechu has an interesting progression. Before this year she didnt have a single 5000 m/10000 m time and between 2017 and 2019 she improved her 10 km road time from 33:07 to 30:15.

Helen Monsanto Obiri ... that explains a lot.
-
Nope, get the facts right and then we can lead a discussion if you are still interested.
-
Yeah, she should get as fat as the shot putters, then she would be much faster and much healthier.
-
There are probably a couple million people out there with a better technique than Obiri, but probably only a couple hundred of them are faster than her.
-
Very disappointed by Klosterhalfen's performance, i expected her to win gold. Not sure i understand her tactics ... she competes in the 5000 m instead of the 1500 m just to wait until the last lap? When you can frontrun 14.26, then maybe it would make sense to attack earlier. I hope that she can show a progression like Hassan, who also took a couple of years at NOP to get where she is now.
-
Didnt Crouser also break it in round 1?
-
I think 3 times: 22.36 m by Crouser in round 1, then 22.90 m by Walsh in round 1 and then 22.91 m by Kovacs in round 6. Edit: But i think there were 7 throws past the old championship record (1 by Kovacs, 4 by Crouser, 1 by Walsh and 1 by Romani)
-
Nice, so the level improved by more than 1 m in 4 years ... more than 5 %. Just imagine at one world championships it takes 2.30 m to win a medal in men's high jump and 4 years later it takes 2.42 m.
-
Yeah, i know, just funny that Hassan was half a lap ahead of Muir and it didnt even cross his mind that Muir wasnt the best "european" in this race.

I'll go with Justin, he can reuse his blackface outfit.
