Tokyo Olympics day 6: Wednesday 4 August

[SprintRelayFan]

KJT down as DQ from that 200. Not that it matters particularly

[SprintRelayFan]

82.52, looks like Polish gold here!
Miller will finish round 3 in the top 8, so will get another set of throws to see if he can do anything.

[SprintRelayFan]

It would now need to be a Britsh record to medal as the Norwegian has gone 80.31

[Ursus]

82.52 PB from Nowicki. Looking very gold like….

[Ursus]

And the Norwegian over 80 too. NR required, Nick….

[trickstat]

His 3rd of the champs. Warholm isn't their only athlete!

[marra]

Gutted for KJT. Always a possibilty given her season but credit to her for doing what she could - both in terms of getting in anything close to fitness and then not just limping off there.

I was only joking when I said this team was cursed the other day but...

imagine Super Saturday with a half fit Mo and JEH not being there for the 800m - Greg would have had the stage to himself!!

[Ursus]

Of the finalists Miller’s 6th on PBs and 8th on SBs, so I guess he’s pretty much bang on expectations at the moment.

[SprintRelayFan]

800 calls?
I'll go Rotich, Korir, Amos just for the hell of it.
It seems quite open which makes it doubly annoying we didn't get anyone through.....

[trickstat]

Not a bad call!

Korir, Rotich and Dobek.

[Ursus]

Haven’t seen head nodding like that since Paula!

[SprintRelayFan]

Yes, Dobek was tipped throughout, wasn't he, I couldn't quite see it. The one I was wavering on for bronze was Clayton Murphy, who finished even after my eventual choice!

[CAML]

Can only marvel at KJT's talent. Second best ever hurdles and shot, with a nightmare build up.

[Occasional Hope]

Bit of a slow final. I wish our men had made it to this final....

[trickstat]

Although the heats and semis were fast you do need a dedicated front runner for the final to be quick.

[SprintRelayFan]

Real missed opportunity. We've had 6 go faster than that this year

[RunUnlimited]

Bit of a slow final. I wish our men had made it to this final....

Rowden, Giles and Dustin could have won that.... But you gotta be in the final to win it....

[Occasional Hope]

Exactly

[trickstat]

So could Murphy and Tuka plus some others who didn't qualify.

[philipo]

Not the most memorable 800m I have seen.Bol doing a Giles and it doesn't work unless you are called Rudisha

[Ursus]

Fajdek into silver

[trickstat]

Henriksen keeps improving after Fajdek threw 81.

[Ursus]

The Norwegian having his day of days.

[Ursus]

Nowicki pulling together a brilliant series 2 x 82 and 3 x 81.
