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

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.

Rojas smashes the WR
15.67m Astonishing
I hope that is the word we’ll continue to use to describe it, she looks like she is in a different competition to the others.
