2019 IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS (Doha, QAT) Day 7

[philipo]

The 3rd fastest time ever!

Commonwealth record from SMU!

Since two notorious runners of the doped up era from E.G. and Czechoslovakia as was are numbers 1 and 2 i reckon Naser is the tops.

[philipo]

Stunning from Naser.

possibly the outstanding performance of the Champs.

[philipo]

I was one of the doubters. She’s turned it around brilliantly and I am very happy to eat huge portions of humble pie. Absolutely fantastic.

Every Kat has her day.

Yes and i must reiterate your thoughts. I doubted her completely but she proved me wrong.

[philipo]

Brilliant, KJT! 6981 points! Well done!

Well deserved and a brilliant 1500m. What a comp to come next year if both Thiam and KJT are both fit

[Ursus]

I was one of the doubters. She’s turned it around brilliantly and I am very happy to eat huge portions of humble pie. Absolutely fantastic.

Every Kat has her day.

the KJT roller coaster takes a new and extraordinary step towards athletics immortality ... at quarter past midnight in front of an empty stadium, I can honestly say that was one of the most moving moments I have experienced....

Well done

[trickstat]

That 2:07.26 puts her 41st on the UK 800 rankings. Not bad for a heptathlete at the end of a heptathlon!

[Christy93]

Emotional here; Been so long getting her to maximise her ability. The best bit? She just scored 165pts more than Thiam has ever scored in a Championship heptathlon. She can believe now.

[Occasional Hope]

Two fantastic days from Kat. I really didn’t expect her to win but she showed such steel. Completely deserved victory and British record. 7000 in Tokyo?

[RunUnlimited]

It's the fastest run by anyone since Marita Koch's world record run in 1985!

[Occasional Hope]

I wonder ifShaunae MU wishes she’d done the 200 now.

[fchd]

Top two times from the 21st Century. Previous best Sanya Richards-Ross 48.70 Athens 2006.

[oxfan]

Actually it started with Mary Rand getting silver in the first Olympic pentathlon in 1964 ahead of Mary Peters

[drobbie]

I still maintain that this final won't be slow. Tsegay is a noted front-runner and I think she knows her best chance of placing highly is to make it fast. She wasn't in any of the slower finals in 2015, 2016 or 2017.

In a fast race, say 3:57/58-ish which is what it could be, Our Laura has as good a chance as anyone.

at her best she is as good as anyone including hassan, hopefully she is at her best but we wont really know until the final

The 3rd fastest time ever!
