De grasse has done it!

Hurrah great and deserved by de grasse. Wow the yanks are getting it after the usual boasting.Lots of athletes brought their best but I cannot recall so many under and over performances.

Erriyon Knighton wasn't really part of the race. Still, 4th place as a 17 year-old, running 19.93, in an Olympic 200 m final, is pretty darned impressive.

Great running from AdG - Lyles lost that race in the semifinal by easing up and ending up in lane 3...

ADG must have finally caught the bouquet!

[Occasional Hope]

It's a good sign that she was walking away from it.

19.62! What a run from Andre!

[LuckySpikes]

Finally a global Gold for De Grasse!

[Occasional Hope]

Gold at last for de Grasse!

De grasse has done it!

Hopefully a strain rather than any sort of tear.....

[trickstat]

He has run faster but it is tough to do a good 400 at the end of a very long first day at a champs decathlon. Being out in the heat must be very draining.

WA live blog saying KJT's injury was to her calf.

BBC reporting that KJT’s injury wasn’t a repeat of her Achilles. Whether there’s been some impact from compensating for that, who knows but a brand new injury would be terrible luck.

Hmm, ankle ligaments perhaps, based on the strapping she had on that leg?

Kaul DNF in the 400.

And he'd just moved himself back up the standings after a very good high jump... Unlucky.
