Tokyo Olympics 2020 - Athletics - Day 2 (Sat)

[RunUnlimited]

All the anti-Dina trolls on Twitter and YouTube are gonna *love* this.... ugh.

[Occasional Hope]

Wow, who could dislike Dina?

[RunUnlimited]

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.

Congrats to Daryll Neita though, well done.

[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

[LoveSprints1]

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

[LuckySpikes]

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.

[philipo]

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

[Occasional Hope]

I think Teahna Daniels got the first fast loser spot.

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

[Christy93]

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.

[Occasional Hope]

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

[Christy93]

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

[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.

[SprintRelayFan]

I certainly did

[LuckySpikes]

Bromell 4th. The shocks keep coming!

[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]

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

[RunUnlimited]

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

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