I hate that they didn't build podiums with a basic plastic screen between each level. Those photos will be shown to their grand kids, would be so much better without masks.

She's shattered. They're insisting on it. Fuck off.

Off the masks come for a photo op. Not sure why they need to stay on during the anthem

Kerr clears the height!
-
Holy crap, the guy from Qatar has got crazy hops, and rapper swag to boot
-
800m - too far to sprint, too short to pace. Brutal distance.
-
That was a crazy fun 800m semi.
Pole squeezed through a gap on inside twice!
-
Who is the kiwi commentator on the high jump?
-
Huge jump by the one eyed crow!
-
Kerr wasn’t even close to it. He’s all done.
-
That means a 10th place for Kerr.

Well above his pb, but he's still young so hopefully he'll use it as a platform and build towards 2024.
Looking at the field, he should be targeting a medal at the comms next year (assuming that they happen).

This Qatari is a freak
-
This korean jumper is awesome!
-
New National Record for Korea.
-
The Aussie jumps a season best (or pb?)!
-
Spanish triple jumper is my kind of angry.

They said his PB is 2.36. 1 cm higher than this

Brandon Starcs Roomate.
So good.

Helped to keep him light by eating most of his food for him
-
This high jump is fantastic.
If only there was a crowd to watch it 😕
-
Triple jump looks like gold was won in the first jump. Venezuelan Yulimar jumps an OR and no one has got close since.
-
Something in the air, as there are PB’s being made on the track, triple jump and high jump.
Can’t ask for much more when it comes to performing at the Olympics
-
No jumper over 2.39m, yet.
-
Did I tell youse about my hurdling career?
I entered the 300m (yes 300m) hurdles at school as a 14yr old. I had a clash with the triple jump (which I was fucking useless at) so missed my age group heat .
They sorted it so I could do a timed run with the senior kids. Great!
300m to run. 7 or 8 hurdles to clear.
I came last by about 230m. Probably the most embarrassing sporting thing I've been involved in.
Not sure what my time was, but I also didn't get a call up for my age group final.
Good times
-
Starc doing a passable impression of me trying to clear 2.39m
-
Hyde was in the lead and looking strong and then clips the hurdle and falls. Brutal.

That guy missed a bronze in the discus by 5cm

Starc bows out. 1cm short of his PB. Finishes equal 5th?

Rojas smashes the WR

Old WR was Ukrainian from 1995 so potentially dodgy anyway
