9.94 NR for L M Jacobs.

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

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

How has Gayle done that?

**LoveSprints1** · 31-07-21, 12:05

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

**oxfan** · 31-07-21, 12:05

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

Looking at the next heat I think prescod might struggle to get out of it

You would be correct. Italy have *never* had a *finalist* to the 100 m in the Olympics, let alone a medallist! The closest they ever came was when Mennea reached the Moscow 100 m semi-finals, where he was eliminated, before he went on to win the Olympic 200 m title.

Lucky lad !

**Occasional Hope** · 31-07-21, 12:19

He was lucky to get away with that.

**Occasional Hope** · 31-07-21, 12:21

Oduduru less lucky.

**SprintRelayFan** · 31-07-21, 12:21

Bloody hell Nigerians should protest that

**LuckySpikes** · 31-07-21, 12:21

No such favour for Ododuru!

**Christy93** · 31-07-21, 12:22

How can Prescod survive but Oduduru get DQ'd? He'll be reinstated if they protest.
