If you (genuinely) have Covid, I don’t really understand why you would come out of the warm up room sprinting and jumping around before your race.
Wow! Just Wow from Sydney-McLaughlin. in the 400m hurdles. I don't think any other runners were even in camera shot when she crossed the line.
I think he was very nervous that Tebogo had the beating of him tonight. I would have had Lyles running a 19.50 if he had been concentrating. I hope Team US have the balls to leave him out of the relays. With him around in a quartet they would surely drop the baton!!
The Men's javelin was a real treat with the winner Arshad Needem looking like a descendant of a warrior class of people that ruled kingdoms in the foothills of the Western Himalayas and would often have throwing competitions. Very classy thrower. As a footnote love the Grenadian, Peters, getting the bronze.
The ladies long jump was almost forgotten. Won by a US athlete with a wonderful name.Tara Davis-Woodhall.. She was the only one to jump further than 7.00m
Katarina Johnson-Thompson needs to beat Nafissatou Thiam by around 8 seconds in the final heptathlon event, the 800m, to take gold. KJT’s personal best is just over 6 seconds better than NT’s pb, so there is a possibility. Due to start at 19.25.
Haven’t got a clue what the rules are for this cycle race. Some riders drifting around the outside of the track before rejoining.
Playing tag. One cyclist has little rest then touches partner, takes over for sprint. As said, hard to follow.
