The golf is interesting with no cut line, so it, like LIV doesnt follow the traditioanal format: it would be interesting to see how many of those beyond the "usual" cut line climbed into the top 10 say.
Do players get ranking points from this?
On the wall climbing, I reckon they should have to start a metre back from the wall rather than pretty much on the wall with grips and foot jold ready to boost up.

US Athletics has announced that Noah Lyles has Covid.
He ran 19.70 and secured the bronze medal with Covid. He must be a doubt for the relays.
Some of the Aussie swimmers competed with COVID, so if he can go he could still race

Man, the USA track team are Fast....even with covid Lyles and Sydney in the 400m hurdles are a cut above...

Always good to wake up to 2 more gold medals!! The kerin win was gusty, get to the front on the last lap and back yourself to stay in front all the way was a brave call but a very good one. K4 was excellent, the girls hung in there to stay close enough to the Germans and then timed their run perfectly at the end to pull ahead.
Dame Carrington with 6 gold medals (and with the potential of more to come) - what a national treasure she is!!

Tebogo looked great - Lyles might have been struggling but Tebogo looked like he had more to give. Also he gave a really lengthy interview to Sky NZ trackside which most champions wouldn't do! He's a sub 45 400m and sub 10 100m man - can't be many of them. I think he knew that if he was ahead coming into the bend he had the strength from the longer distance to see them off.

Serbia carving up USA then decide ‘you know what, let’s stop giving it to Joker and just start lobbing up wild 3s’. Like the other four guys all thought they were the best player but just needed the space to show it. If I were a Serb I’d be rioting in the street

Dame Lisa Carrington is a fucking phenom and NZs greatest athlete. She has more than a decade on most of the other people in that K4 race and still, in a "team" event, looked like the dominant athlete.
Someone build a fucking statue. you'll need a lot of bronze to do those shoulders and guns justice.
