2019 IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS (Doha, QAT) Day 7

[trickstat]

What a 400!!!

I think SMU got a Commonwealth Record BTW.

[RunUnlimited]

The 3rd fastest time ever!

Commonwealth record from SMU!

[fchd]

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

[RunUnlimited]

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

[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

[Occasional Hope]

I wonder ifShaunae MU wishes she’d done the 200 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?

[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.

[trickstat]

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

[carterhatch]

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

[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.

[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

[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]

Stunning from Naser.

possibly the outstanding performance of the Champs.

[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.

[RunUnlimited]

That women's 400 final will change the way we view W 400 races, at least for a few years ... ... "49.17? Pfft. A bit slow, wasn't it?"

LOL! Accurate statement!

[Occasional Hope]

I should think Mr Uibo is going to be happier with his silver than Mrs Uibo with hers.

Brilliant breakthrough from Kaul.
