Tokyo Olympics day 6: Wednesday 4 August

[Occasional Hope]

Oh no! The achilles strikes again ;(

[trickstat]

Turns down wheelchair and jogs in.

[Christy93]

Very sad for Kat. Get home, give that achilles some proper rest, and get back for Birmingham next year.

[trickstat]

There may be something to be said for her focussing on CG next year before Paris.

[Occasional Hope]

If she's reasonably fit. I don't want to see her dragging herself round to win with a low score like Dean Macey did in his last Commonwealths.

[nutsos]

Vidts continuing her great form with another PB to round out a great first day for her, 23.70 for her. Real shame for KJT, but not a huge shock given how its been for her this year.

[SprintRelayFan]

Bugger. I'd hoped she was in half decent shape. poor girl. We've had horrendous luck - Our two best individual medal hopes out and one of our best relay runners

[Ursus]

KJT gone. Got to feel for her, but had an air of inevitability about it.

Hats off for finishing, but hope she can this injury properly sorted.

[MysteryBrick]

Very sad for her. She did all she could to be there and compete well, and was doing so well.

[Occasional Hope]

A brave finish.

Honestly, I half expected her to not make it through the whole hep, but she wasn't looking too bad...

Very disappointing for her.

[RunUnlimited]

Honestly, she was heading for a sub 23 second run by the looks of things there... until she pulled up of course.

[SprintRelayFan]

Miller fouls out, down in 5th now.

[RunUnlimited]

KJT, rest up, get that Achilles fully treated, and head into 2022 fully fit and ready to kick some ass. Commonwealth Games and Worlds must surely be her aim.

[Ursus]

80+ from the youngster Kokhan too. Miller’s going to need an NR to be in the mix here.

[trickstat]

In the Dec, Mayer and, to a lesser extent, Kaul, are showing they are there to keep Warner honest.

[MysteryBrick]

Definitely watch out for Kaul... up on his 2019 World Champion performance.

[Christy93]

KJT, Dasher, Adam... We really pissed the athletics gods off somewhere along the line didn't we

[SprintRelayFan]

Do all 12 of the hammerers get 6 throws or do they split it at 3?

[Occasional Hope]

I think they drop the bottom four midway as with the other field finals.

[Ursus]

Top 8 only get 6.

[SprintRelayFan]

Thanks, with the hammer missing from the DL, I'm a bit rusty on the rules! Miller in 6th at the minute although what I think of as the big names are already ahead of him
