The womens 800 has two 1.56 girls from the UK and I am surprised they have not been featuring these more. They have realistic chances of medals here

Gutsy 3rd by Alex Bell. May be an FL.

Well done, Alex Bell ! Good shot at making the final.

Alex Bell has a great chance of making the final with that time. Athing Mu looks incredible, but I don't see Goule or Almanza (if she makes it) giving her an easy lead in the final.

Great runs by our women
Delighted for Bell. Keeley was so smart and one of the girls may medal.

I thought Mu would struggle with the rounds and step up to international competition, but certainly not so far. She looks the clear gold favourite.

Alex Bell did her best and might be fast enough for a fast loser spot.

Mu does look superb. Maybe one day she may break the longest-lasting WR in the history of the sport?

Well done to alex bell - if she does make the final that would be an over achievement I think, and if she doesn’t she’s still done very well
mu is a goddess

Solid enough for Bell. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of, if she doesn't end up making it.

Brilliant from Keely!

[Occasional Hope Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Occasional Hope]

Fantastically well judged run by Keely!

Almanza out I think.

[philipo]

A brilliant brave run by Keeley
Its Mus to.lose but who knows if the right place is on the track. I reckon Goule also

[LuckySpikes Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close LuckySpikes]

Well done, Keely! That was a bit nervy.

Great run by the Chinese lassie as well.

Almanza out in the semis. Again!

[philipo]

The Chinese athlete was a surprise for sure.
