Got to say, the red button coverage of this morning's session of athletics has been pretty nice, not gonna lie.

Bit early to call "disaster" , no ?
3 women in 100 - tick
same for 800
2 of 100h through - if less than impressive.
2 of 3 men in 800
1 of 3 women in 400h
2 jumpers qualified for final.
OK 5000 was poor - though Markovc got a PB so let's not shoot her , eh ?
And Okoye was a flop - which does happen in throws sometimes.
Middling so far , I'd say.

I’d say that we were below par so far but not yet complete disaster. Gale did well to get to the final I think. I wouldn’t have been surprised if asha hadn’t made the semis so that’s a plus. Daryll’s pb was great.
biggest negatives provably okoye, mccolgan, knight and Dustin - I don’t want to sound too motherhood and apple pie about it but you can see mitigating circs with each other than okoye

In the Women's 400m hurdles Heat 3 (McLaughlin's heat), Ukraine's Mykolenko was given a yellow card after the runners were brought back to the blocks, and allowed to run (official time 57.86). BUT the results show she was disqualified under rule TR 16.5.3. If she only got a warning, why disqualified? Does anyone know how she may have "disturbed other runners"?

I bet before the season is over aat least one of the athletes you mentioned will perform much better, maybe a DL meet.

I note McColgan moaning about being clipped: lots athletes not as rated as her did not get clipped. I hate her gait and style but a 14.28 runner should do far better. Hardly inexperienced. Third Olympics.
