[trickstat]

I don't think I've ever known a shot put qualification where the 2 pools are not run at the same time from different circles. I have no idea why they are doing that as they didn't do it for the women and or for the decathlon and heptathlon?

[SprintRelayFan]

A lot of brits In action. Hopefully tomorrow starts a turn around

[Occasional Hope]

Yes, hope the 1500 m men do better than the 800m men.

And best of luck to Jemma and Keely in the w800 final!

[Afrothletics]

If Mboma can get her start sorted I would love to see how fast she can go in the 200, when was the last time Namibia won an Olympic medal that wasn't won by Frankie Fredericks?

[Grassmarket]

And the answer is that not only is Frankie the only Namibian medallist, but that all four of his medals were silvers.

[LuckySpikes]

OK, fingers crossed for my "out there" bronze medal pick in the Women's Jav, Latvia's Anete Kocina.

She's been ultra-consistent this season throwing between 62.44 & 63.70 in all 5 of her comps this season, distances that most of the field have struggled to hit with any regularity this year. This makes me believe (hope?!) that she's got a really big throw in her. 65 or 66-low might do for the bronze medal? Just get through tonight (Group A) and save that throw for the final!

[LuckySpikes]

El Bakkali doubling in the 1500 (3:31.95 PB) - he's in Heat 3.

[Christy93]

Well, yikes...

[LuckySpikes]

Josh Kerr relying on a little q ! Dearie me.

[alfie]

Careless from Kerr. Can't he count ? Crossed finger job now...

[trickstat]

3:36.29 should be OK to go through but if both the other heats have a decent early pace Kerr may be in trouble. Seems to have been a mix of a little mental and physical sluggishness in the last 40m or so there.

[trickstat]

62 first lap in heat 2 is good for Kerr.

[trickstat]

Lewandowski falls!

[sportsfan]

Commentators bigging up Josh Kerr as a possible medal winner . Has to make the final first! A well done is always better than a well said!

[Christy93]

Lewandowski advanced? Didn't look like much, but we'll see.
