I was very impressed by Jodie Williams post race interview, she is going into that final with the mentality that she can win a medal. Realistically it will be a tall order but she has done incredibly well considering this is her first time running the 400 at a global championships. Paulinho was impressive, there is a chance Uibo could leave this championships with out a gold from her two events
Thoroughly enjoyable hammer throw final, even if Fajdek had performed to his best he still wouldn’t have beaten Nowicki, that’s how good he was. 80m throw only came 4th, very high standard👍 1Comment

I er completely forgot about the men's 200. I've been slightly panicked by the news that every restaurant in Cornwall is apparently booked until September so been frantically researching. Holidays, are not much fun this year eh?
anyway fab from AdG, but the US men's 4x1 team will be something to be reckoned with

What time does Kipyegon have in mind for the final? The OR is easily in her grasp. The WR maybe not, after the rounds? Any slower than 3:54 and Muir will come into the equation.Comment

Honestly, I think Kipyegon wins with a fair bit in hand whether they run 3.52 or 4.12. She's just that good imo, massively underappreciated. If Hassan couldn't beat her in a one off diamond league, I don't see how she can with two 5ks and two 1500s in her legs.Last edited by Christy93; 04-08-21, 17:44.

Turning to tomorrow, who will be top dog in the 400m; i picked Norman but i think it will not be there. Cherry may be the best American. Gardiner for me .Have a feeling a def medal for Zambrano.Comment

I like the AW description of the men's 800 final: Kenyan one-two in disappointing Olympic 800m final - AW (athleticsweekly.com)
That semi-final run was preceded by a quite farcical 400m heat in the morning where he exhibited acting not seen since the likes of ITV’s Crossroads in the 1960s as he pretended to accidentally false start so he could focus on the 800m.👍 2Comment

I think she has a very good chance. Leaving aside Hassan and Kipyegon she is better than the others and seems to be running well (and hasn't over taxed herself in the heats) However we all know that unless you are hugely superior to the rest of the field a 1500 can be a tricky event to predict . Does anyone take it out hard or will it be slow start and a burn-up ... jostles in the pack : have to be ready to adapt your tactics to the situation ...a lot of variables.
If she gets her tactics right and doesn't suffer any interference I reckon she will. Arguably is due a change of luck in a major outdoor event. Crossed fingers , eh ?👍 1Comment

Just going to say, that men's 200 m final featured the 5th, 6th and 8th fastest times ever recorded at an Olympic Games. Only the one and only Usian Bolt (2008 - 19.30, 2012 - 19.32) his Jamaican team mate, Yohan Blake (2012 - 19.44) and Michael Johnson (1996 - 19.32) have run faster. A great race.Comment
