To be fair, does France even have any long distance runners here?

Maybe hypnotist is a code word for doctor.

Sohi scored 61.6% on her debut with Don Carissimo. She just lacked control on a lot of collected movements, which was to be expected. There is more in the bag, but probably it's too late.

Perez probably secures gold.

One wonders if Romania can bounce back from this. One bad cycle is tolerable. But this time they will not even come close to qualification.

Australia hasn't qualified women's 4x100 m relay since 2000 apparently.

Almost made me think Lord Coe was Scottish...

Still a final for

I'm sure she was glad to be a part of the race that arguably made Canberra 1985 look clean.

Wait, Ethiopia sent an athlete whose PB was slower than 3:38 (and still is)?

Apparently the organizers will offer free cross-country tickets to everyone who wears orange colors. All to give the extra support to the Dutch, who are chasing the last available Olympic ticket.

If anyone wishes to see dcro's everyday surroundings, feel free to watch today's (and next two stages) of CRO race.

Mihovil Fantela suffered a freak injury while training for Nations Gold Cup. Apparently he fell on a rudder, and stabbed his spleen in the process. Nations Gold Cup is scheduled to start in 2021, and it's supposed to be some sailing version of FIFA World Cup. Sounds pretentious. Anyway, Fantela brothers will not be able to defend their 49er title in November. Their Olympic preparations suffer a huge blow too, as Mihovil will need months to recover. Sounds like an enormous price to pay for freaking "Nations Gold Cup".

No, ranking period ends December 31.

Edneu Senhorini today became the first Brazilian attempting to score 66% MER since Pan Ams. He scored 60.8% and failed. Next competition with Brazilians appearing on entry list will be Le Mans CDI3* (18-20 October).

Interesting. I guess Mexico was also given Pan Am quotas in women's events? @JoshMartini007

Australia slotted ahead of Ukraine. Will that be a cut-off point for Tokyo?

Well, there can be 13 teams of 3. Or even 19 pairs.

Bronze no. 45 for Canada?

Hopefully it will help her ranking (no idea how it works)...

In case you forgot, the last Bahraini athlete who broke WR got suspended for EPO.

5 under 50 seconds? This is worse than Canberra 1985 to be honest.

Fourth final for us.

Koala destroys very decent heptathlon with poor javelin throw. I hate how IAAF does not allow universality spots in heptathlon. Koala clearly deserves to take part, however she may as well end up doing just the 100 m hurdles like she did in Rio, because of IAAF's stupid rule.
