[MysteryBrick]

Can the 800m men take inspiration from the women? Both will need to run well to make the final, but they are also both more than capable of it.

[Occasional Hope]

Heats are quite challenging, but hope for the best.

I was surprised to see Warholm and Benjamin in the same semi when there are three.

[Occasional Hope]

Hughes has the easiest looking route to the 100 final of the British men.

It's going to be tough for Tiff and Cindy.

[Sovietvest]

Is the the lowest standard 100m at the OG since 1984? I'd fancy, Carl Lewis, Linford Christie, Donovan Bailey or Frankie Fredericks against all of this lot - especially on a Mondo track in modern spikes.

[SprintRelayFan]

92 Christie ran it in 9.96, second was 10.02 - admittedly spikes and tracks advanced!

[JamieSLA]

Remains to be seen, I think we could see something special from Ronnie Baker personally. I think at the summit, it probably is the lowest since then, but in terms of depth you could argue it's the best its ever been.

[trickstat]

Good question. I suppose it's hard to tell when the contenders have only run once so far. I suspect the level required to make the final may be about the same as the last few Games but the difference between that and a bronze medal may be smaller than in the days of Bolt, Blake etc.

[paul]

Many are called. But few get up.

[frankie cahill]

Is that a Man reference? Is so, I'm now going to have difficulty in disassociating Alex Bell from 70s Welsh prog rock from now on

[paul]

Yes. Good Welsh prog knowledge @frankie-cahill !

I have always liked the phrase. Heroism is a little bit rare because you have to have the opportunity and you have to take it.
I'm singling out Bell because, although she has iron-hard resoluteness, will-power and abs, she is also just an ordinary Leeds lass.

[RunUnlimited]

Anita Wlodarczyk is coming into form at the right time... 76.99 m in hammer qualifying attempt one, sees her through to the final.

[trickstat]

Ivana Spanovic has injected some class into the underachieving group B in the LJ with a 7.00 jump.

[trickstat]

Lizzie Bird is the first Brit to progress running further than 800m as an FL in the SC.

[philipo]

Ugen was hyped with some jumps of quality this year. Cannot see better than 6 05 on my phone.⁴

[trickstat]

A 6.05 then a foul with her 3rd jump coming shortly.

Mihambo has now jumped 6.98. Perhaps she found the board!

[trickstat]

Abby Irozuru hits the auto Q on the nail with 6.75 in the 3rd. Jaz Sawyers currently hanging in the top 12 by her fingertips but I am not hopeful that she'll remain.

[philipo]

Well done Irozoru qualwd auto 6 75

[trickstat]

With only 10 places here for Russian ANAs, Daria Klishina fouling out in the LJ isn't a great use of one of those spots!

[trickstat]

Another foul by Ugen so v poor by her but it looks like Sawyers will make it through.

[Afrothletics]

Irozuru gets the auto Q and Sawyers scrapes through to the final in 11th place... disappointing for Ugen who finishes right at the bottom of qualifying with two no marks and a jump barely over 6 metres, but not surprising given the injury story she detailed on Twitter.
