I don't think we have 1 actual sports newspaper

Nope, 5.10m it is, but with that, we're gonna get an amazing fight for gold later today! Now it's time for a bit of sleep

Damn, nearly injures himself....luckily it ended up well

We are now at the point where, if Owens-Delerme and Garland both equal their javelin and 1500m PB's (and Neugebauer doesn't massively improve them), it's actually Owens-Delerme who wins

He makes 5.10m! It is on!

Not yet, Owens-Delerme is of course still in it. If he makes 5.00m, he would be a very big threat for gold. And he makes it! The fight for gold is on for real now!

Garland finally with XXX and with that, finally time for me to get a little bit of sleep

Kaul doesn't get over 4.80m and that's probably that for his chance for bronze.

By the way, Kate O'Connor really did something amazing yesterday: she scored 6714 points, which was not just a 227 point PB, but arguably more impressively, it was 35 points more than the combined score of all of her (pre-Tokyo) single event PB's In the decathlon nobody is staying anywhere near that feat, only Ferranti might, if he has an amazing finish, stay within 100 points or so. Sandrina Sprengel was the only one in the heptathlon who stayed within 100 points (barely), nobody got anywhere near it, just to reiterate how incredible O'Connor's tournament has been.

NM for Kopecky

Neugebauer drops the bar with his pole, despite easily clearing it

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).
