Tokyo Olympics day 5 - Tuesday 3 August

Two no throws for Tomas Walsh ...

[trickstat]

He's been credited with a put but it's only 20.38.

[SprintRelayFan]

Coppell equal SB to go over 5.70. Well done to him, whatever happens from here he's fully justified his place

[ozjohn]

Well done Coppell. And decent run there from Marc Scott.

[philipo]

Scott. Another of those Brits who can run ok in Us in spring. Did he think he could out sprint the others.

[LuckySpikes]

Yes, dumb running by a lot of those runners. Unless you're one of the favourites with a great kick why just jog round like that for the first 4km? Make it a proper race FFS, show some mettle and put some pressure on Heat 2 to go fast!

[LuckySpikes]

Marc Scott 6th - will have to rely on Heat 2 ambling around at an even slower pace.

Getnet Wale unlikely to qualify, only 9th.

[SprintRelayFan]

Scott 6th. Will need to wait and see. I must remember that whilst I look askance at US times set early in the season I need to look at GB times set over there with the same caution

[trickstat]

If heat 2 run steady 65s they will get all the time q's.

What's the decent bit. He is a 13.05 guy😄

[alfie]

WTF is going on with the judges re Tomas Walsh ? His first red flag was reversed but now he's flagged again : I saw no foot fault...

???

[philipo]

Have you seen so much fear in athletes as in these 5is. All thatpaced stuff in the Diamond Leagùe.

[Ursus]

Walsh got a Q on his 3rd attempt to top the pool.

[alfie]

Yes I see. Someone overruled them and fortunately the put was measured. Those judges need their eyes tested. Justice done..

[LuckySpikes]

If heat 2 run steady 65s they will get all the time q's.

2:17 at 800 ... they didn't get your memo!

I assume you were having a pop at my post even though you managed to quote yourself.


😂😂😂 indeed. What a piece of work you are.

[SprintRelayFan]

Quoting mishaps notwithstanding I don't see how you can say someone being over 30 seconds down on their best and coming 6th in a reasonably meh heat is a decent run

[trickstat]

Heat 2 is a very similar pace at the mo.

Heat 2 is a very similar pace at the mo.

Now well ahead of heat 1 schedule.
