Both Czech athletes - Maki & Mezulianikova - through to the semis with big Qs and PBs. Can Simona Vrzalova make it 3 out of 3?

Not at all. I'll find it difficult to watch an event that a fully fit Dina would have excelled in, without her present.

Personally, I think she could have won gold or silver and run faster than the pre-2015 European 200 m record, but not quite as fast as Schippers' run in Beijing.

I will still want to watch it , of course. But it will be with a heavy heart as I was so looking forward to see Dina measuring herself against the other great sprinters. Will have to wait until the WC now...

I think Walcott-Nolan is out by 0.01

**fchd** · 02-08-21, 03:05

Walcott-Nolan out by 0,01 if my understanding is correct

**LuckySpikes** · 02-08-21, 03:05

Well done, Katie Snowden. Nice run for Nozomi Tanaka, improving her NR by 1.7s to 4:02.33.

**RunUnlimited** · 02-08-21, 03:06

Katie Snowden is through to the semi-final, qualifying automatically in the top 6 with a PB of 4:02.87. Kipyegon wins it with ease.... Unfortunately, Walcott Nolan misses out by 1/100th of a second.

In percentage terms that might be the narrowest elimination of the champs.

Kipyegon wins with ridiculous ease and strolls off while the others lie around on the track . Formidable.

PB and qual for Snowden. Though Walcott-Nolan has missed out on times by a hundredth of a second...despite her PB. Bit unlucky but like most of the British women so far she has fully justified her place in the team.

We do all agree that a PB in the Olympics is a pass , do we not ?

**Christy93** · 02-08-21, 03:12

Lovely to see Peleteiro on the podium. We could do with a Cuban jumps coach or two over here.

Has Laura ever beaten Kipyegon

Nowicki casually tosses out the hammer out to 79.78 m to auto qualify for the final.

w discus nothing

Yeah it's an absolute shambles that we lack any representation in so many big Athletics events. Why are our athletes still seemingly incapable of hitting qualifying distances/times to make major championships. Feel like this has been the case for long as I can remember.

**Christy93** · 02-08-21, 03:57

She could break Flo-Jo's WR if she learns how to start & run the bend. Think they'll have widened restrictions by then though.

**fchd** · 02-08-21, 04:04

Jackson out of the 200m after taking it far too casually

**RunUnlimited** · 02-08-21, 04:07

Whoops! Shericka Jackson has most likely shot herself in the foot now... I don't know *what* she was doing there in that heat... ambled around the turn, dawdled down the straight, and then eased down on the line... and got taken by Bazolo.... I think she is out.

Big surprise that!
