Tokyo Olympics 2020 - Athletics - Day 2 (Sat)

[Occasional Hope]

Hughes pips Bromell for third in their first round heat. Possibly neither expected this to be a fast heat?

I have to say, visually, the Jamaicans look like sprinters racing runners. They just look technically perfect, don't they? Galloping across the track. Sprinting is an art, and the Jamaicans have it down to a tee.

Do we know who is running in the 4x4 mixed. Also where can we find relay splits?

Tajay Gayle just injured in the Long Jump

Ah, a blow for many of us in the Prediction Contest!

[Occasional Hope]

I think Teahna Daniels got the first fast loser spot.

Sport... crazy what. No yanks. Two swiss. WOW.DAS was not fully fit but to be honest the Jamsicans will sweep.

You'll be surprised @Occasional Hope

On YouTube video where Dina won the 200 m at the Florence Diamond League meeting, and when she won in the wind and rain of Gateshead, there were plenty of folks saying she would not be a factor come Tokyo... they will be LOVING that she didn't make the 100 m final, trust me on that.

Our 800 ladies will need to make sure the semis are swift (2 + 2 qualifying). Jemma has Goule & Wilson in hers. Keely faces Almanza & Rogers.

I am so pleased about that. Can’t stand ayhe so would’ve been happy whoever put her out, but delighted for daryll

[SprintRelayFan]

I was thinking about the relay.
I don’t think she’s got a prayer of the 200, tbh if I was her I’d pull from that before she gets more injured

No wind -0.2 for Ahye, +0.3 for Daryll. Karma with a helping hand.

[LoveSprints1]

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

[Occasional Hope]

Wow, who could dislike Dina?

[trevorp]

Christy93 Oh, absolutely. Your initial comment was spot-on.

[RunUnlimited]

Congrats to Daryll Neita though, well done.
