Kerr clears the height!

[canefan]

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.

[Rapido]

That was a crazy fun 800m semi.

Pole squeezed through a gap on inside twice!

Who is the kiwi commentator on the high jump?

[Rapido]

Huge jump by the one eyed crow!

Kerr wasn’t even close to it. He’s all done.

[Stargazer]

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

[Rapido]

This korean jumper is awesome!

[Stargazer]

New National Record for Korea.

[Stargazer]

The Aussie jumps a season best (or pb?)!

[gt12]

Spanish triple jumper is my kind of angry.

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

Helped to keep him light by eating most of his food for him

[ACT Crusader]

This high jump is fantastic.

If only there was a crowd to watch it 😕

[antipodean]

Triple jump looks like gold was won in the first jump. Venezuelan Yulimar jumps an OR and no one has got close since.

[ACT Crusader]

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
