I certainly did

[LoveSprints1]

He looked amazing! 100m opening up unexpectedly.

So 8.14 will get Gayle to the final, if he can walk to it

[LoveSprints1]

Tajay Gayle, just pulled out an 8.14 jump, heavily strapped, but clearly injured.

[oxfan]

How has Gayle done that?

[Christy93]

Italy with their first sprint medal since Mennea, perhaps? (Or have I missed someone?). I'd love to see him get among the Americans.

[Occasional Hope]

9.94 for Lamont Jacobs. Super fast for a first round.

[LuckySpikes]

9.94 NR for L M Jacobs.

[Christy93]

Looked unable/unwilling to react to me - Carrying an injury?

[philipo]

Well done to Neita. This is a Jamaican three way for the podium spots. I am calling SAFP for gold, Elaine for silver and Shericka for bronze. Great work by the Swiss athletes

What a race to see. Sub 10.70 ??
Thrilled for Neita.

Trayvon Bromell not great. Nigerian Adegoke wins heat 2 of the men's 100 m in a 9.98 PB. Zharnel Hughes pips Bromell to the final auto Q position in 10.04 to 10.05

[LuckySpikes]

Only 3 little q's available in the M 100 so Bromell will be sweating profusely.

[marra]

Well, at least we aren't the only people not having a good week. If Hughes fixes his start, he'll be in the mix.

[LuckySpikes]

Bromell 4th. The shocks keep coming!

[Christy93]

A Nigerian sprinter, built like bison, burning up the track. Lets be frank, it's not a great advert for athletics after recent days news. Whether we like it or not, people will raise eyebrows.
