Tokyo Olympics day 3 - Sunday 1 August

Record del mundo!!!!

[Occasional Hope]

15.67. In the last round.

[Christy93]

She could jump 16m, no doubt about it - A (wonderful) freak of nature

[marra]

YES. What a jumper she is.

[trickstat]

Fabulous and with the gold already won. I think the first WR by a South American woman?

She could jump 16m, no doubt about it - A (wonderful) freak of nature

Yep. 15.67 would have got her a place in the top 10 at the European U20's we had recently.... in the MEN's competition!

[Occasional Hope]

Five men still in the HJ but all at their last attempt at 2.39. If they all fail the medals go to Barshim, Tamberi and bronze for Nedesekau.

[Occasional Hope]

Oops missed some passes. Those three are the medallists.

[Occasional Hope]

And it's a jumpoff for gold.

[Occasional Hope]

No, looks like they've agreed to share it.

[Afrothletics]

From Athletics Weekly twitter:

"UKA have lodged a protest on behalf of Daniel Rowden on grounds that he was impeded by Clayton Murphy."

[trickstat]

Murphy did move left on the head-on replay.

[marra]

He definitely checked Rowden but it didn't look like it was anything out of the ordinary.

[trickstat]

Jump-off beckons - no Barshim and Tanberi are sharing the gold as they are great mates.

[Occasional Hope]

Nice feelgood finish

[RunUnlimited]

Shared GOLD for Tamberi and Barshim! This actually happened before, at the 2018 world juniors!

[Occasional Hope]

Barshim shared bronze (since upgraded to silver) with Robbie Grabarcz at London 2012.

[trickstat]

He's gone =3rd, 2nd and =1st in successive OGs.

[ozjohn]

No jumpoff? 2 x Gold ?

[Christy93]

I found that very classy from Barshim asking the question. Everybody loves Tamberi.

[RunUnlimited]

No jumpoff? 2 x Gold ?

Yep, 2 golds. This happened at the World U20's in 2018.

[CAML]

Rojas phases, 5.86m, 3.82m and a ridiculous 5.99m

[LuckySpikes]

Italy having a sneaky good Games - Tamberi, Jacobs ER, Sibilio, Battocletti, Boglolio NR, Osakue NR, Fantini into Hammer final (there might others I've missed).
