1:58.58 in the 200m, I'm fairly confident I can do that!

Time for the first finals.

Yep, or Great Britain or something, like Reece Prescod and Zharnel Hughes.

No Teresa Portela vs Teresa Portela in the final

India leading Belgium 2-1 after ten minutes, let's go!

That javelin level so far is really incredibly low...

And that's Olympic champion Kolak out

Salty about what? I've never specifically liked Montsho (other than 'cool, someone from Botswana') and she was caught

Yeah, but not in her, uhm, artificially aided previous shape

Now I am curious how it is pronounced correctly, because I'm always going with PiKardo as well Although sometimes I'm going with the 'ch' as in 'champion'

Pichardo withdrew or something?

Not doing any more than necessary, could've played it a few centimeters safer

We would not believe it if Ingebrigtsen breaks his PR by 15 seconds, but we should if he does it?!?!

Mboma would've run a 46 here

Lewandowski gets added to the semis

Just in the replay did I notice Souleiman was running here. Damn, he has really pulled a Makhloufi in terms of being completely invisible the past years it seems

Ouch, Lewandowski OUT

And down goes Nelson Evora's muscle

Meanwhile in Denmark.

Watching Makhmudov throw Huseynov around...twice! Really makes me think I need to watch this sport way more often

Round of Stupid Questions continues, here is number two! What was up with that Geraei vs Starcevic challenge?! First Geraei got four points when he jumped up the Croat and pulled him down, right. Then the Croat challenged, and won the challenge, but still Geraei was left with two points, which made it 5-5 and gave him the win anyway. The Croat was of course angry and was certain he was leading, but this was on a stream without commentator (not that that'd be useful anyway), so I have really no idea what was going on exactly When seeing the replay I thought Starcevic fell on Geraei and not on the mat and maybe he would win the challenge because of that, but I'm still puzzled why - even though the Croat won the challenge - the Iranian only lost two of the four points.

There has been not a single word against that, also not in her interview (at least the part I could understand from her interview...). So far that is definitely the goal

Damn, there have been 13 athletics events already?! Time is going way too fast

Oh man, few years ago I never thought I'd ever see the Netherlands win Olympic athletics gold (yeah I didn't watch Van Langen win when I was 1) What a phenomenal and tactically perfect race.
