So soon after breaking through themselves

I wish you could watch Sky Go on two devices. I'd like to watch both this hockey game and athletics at the same time.

Argies get a second and take a 2-1 lead

[Bovidae]

A solid first up throw from Adams with 18.75 m. In the other group, Wesche has thrown a new PB of 18.65 m with her first throw at the Olympics. She looked chilled.

Both threw worse in their second throws. Only a couple of throwers have made the qualifying mark so they are well placed

[Machpants]

Qualifying is 18.8, only a few have made it

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD again!

Great result. I was at school with the son of one of the 1970s gold medal winning team (who sadly died of brain tumour I think)

Where were the black shirts though??!! White is not our colour.

[Stargazer]

@machpants Yep, even Adams hasn't, but:

Qualification Rules: Qualifying performance 18.80 (Q) or at least 12 best performers (q) advance to the Final

[MiketheSnow]

Great win for Sone in Judo
Japan with record 9 golds

[Machpants]

Adams 3rd 18.83, she's through. Wesche 2PBs compared to he previous, she may make it through

[MiketheSnow]

W Football

GB 2-3 Australia
Second period of ET

Ding dong

[Stargazer]

@machpants Of the athletes not throwing 18.80, Wesche is the third best (11th over all) at the moment. If that's correct, she's through!

[Bones]

Please tell me someone else is watching the track relay and saw what the Italian just did.

[Machpants]

So, four, now five, years of training. Competitions to qualify for the Olympics. What a peak! Throw a large ball bearing just 3 times, not quite far enough, and go home 🤣

Both kiwis through

Nope?

[Bovidae]

I reckon Val was waiting to see if Wesche qualified too.
