Sometimes, but in terms of results I'd certainly say let's keep that to the volleyball thread and leave non-athletics results out of the athletics thread

Yeah, that's what we thought I guess commentator wasn't entirely awake yet, apparently they sleep in the Eurosport studio

Owens-Delerme closing the forecast gap by another bit towards Garland...this ain't over yet, although Garland has a lot more space on pole vault.

And the decision to go for safe, it seems.

Shitty birthday for Simbine btw Such a shame Walaza is injured.

And they fail, wow. Disastrous performance, going all safe was not the best bet...

Of course now the timing fails That was tight though...

In other words, this is gonna be a long night and I had no choice but to go and get myself a piece of bread with hagelslag to keep the energy levels up

Neugebauer with a mad throw

I assume he is in group B Like Owens-Delerme, Kaul and others.

Isn't that Sebrle or am I just going crazy? Grandpa @Monzanator will know for sure

Who is the man who is filming Kopecky? Dutch commentator is asking and is sure it isn't Sebrle

Neugebauer with a great opening throw, putting the pressure on Owens-Delerme and Garland.

I've done this a few times (but with HBO) and that was nice, although I do still prefer having a commentator for it. Not really going to be an option for me for the final session unfortunately though, as I won't be watching live due to Formula 1 being at the same time, and syncing two streams to the same moment is tough (especially when skipping the 'dead' moments in between).

Same here on HBO, commentator has gone to get a second breakfast I think

So after six events, Garland is probably still the favourite for the gold, but despite Skotheim's DQ, his position has not necessarily been improved. Based on this season's results, he is still quite a bit in the lead, with Owens-Delerme leading the charge for silver and Neugebauer fighting it out with Kaul for bronze. Based on their best decathlons, Kaul is still in it all the way, but he does have a 79m javelin throw in that one, whereas the 71m in his 'season average forecast' might be more realistic.

Owens-Delerme very much in medal position. Who knows, if Garland messes up entirely and he himself as an amazing rest of the day, something else might be possible, but he'll need some serious failures by Garland.

Not a great race for Garland neither.

To the surprise of nobody, the live timing is broken again. Chileduck has a DQ for Skotheim in the forecast though.

A little? Garland is the overwhelming favourite now..

And that's it for Skotheim

Not impossible, it'll be Owens-Delerme who needs to try and hold Neugebauer, Kaul and Erm off...

So 'otherwise they feel bad' is the sole reason why France remains in? If South Africa wasn't pushed away by Jacobs and ran, say, 38.00, France wouldn't have been in it anyway.. Oh well, nothing against them, so good for them of course

Gonna be a tense morning for the French sprinters all of a sudden.

Ah yeah, of course Not so likely I think, but it'd be awesome.
