Tokyo Olympics day 3 - Sunday 1 August

Come on Zharnel. Don't do here what you did at the trials....

[Occasional Hope]

I think you jinxed him!

[RunUnlimited]

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

It might look odd, with such a short 2nd hop phase, but with Rojas having legs taller than most people, I think it's actually so that she doesn't have the hop phase end up IN the pit! L O L

Come on Zharnel. Don't do here what you did at the trials....

Shared gold medals in athletics at the Olympic Games

1908 Men's PV
2020 Men's HJ

Plus of course the two 1912 events when Jim Thorpe was posthumously re-instated but only as joint winner.


I think the desire to wrap up the HJ before the 100m had something to do with the decision.

Zharnel Agggggggggghhhhhhhhh

[marra]

I shouldn't have jinxed it.

[trickstat]

Has any country had 2 of it's three reps DQ'd for false starts in the course of the same Olympic event?

[LoveSprints1]

So sad for Zharnel. He had a real chance.

[Christy93]

Ah Zharnel, what are you doing lad...

[Occasional Hope]

9.79 for Lamont Jacobs!!!!

Two gold medals for Italy in rapid succession.
