Tokyo Olympics day 7 - Thursday 5 August

Impressive qualification from Wightman

[trickstat]

Nageotte is 3rd over 4.70.

[trickstat]

Now 10 vaulters with 3rd attempts at 4.70.

[SprintRelayFan]

Nageotte looked a mile over there, don't think she'll have any more issues.

[Occasional Hope]

Holly currently in 2nd place, and only three women over 4.70 with the rest on their last chance.

[SprintRelayFan]

Silva out, although we'd not have expected her to feature in the medals this time.

[jjimbojames]

Diamond 51.54
Clark 50.94
Nielsen 50.92
Yeargin 50.59

[trickstat]

Kerr very far back at the mo!

[trickstat]

Kerr and Hayward through - the latter with a PB. Centro out.

[SprintRelayFan]

Great work from all 3 1500 guys!

[SprintRelayFan]

Stefanidi gets the 4.70 at last attempt

[Occasional Hope]

Kerr and Heyward through in a fast second semi, the latter with a PB. 3.31 Olympic record for Kipsang. McSweyn really took it out.

[LuckySpikes]

Well done to the British lads.

Charles Grethen (LUX) with a massive NR, 3:32.86 in 7th, taking 3.9s off his record !

[SprintRelayFan]

Bradshaw now guaranteed to finish top 6 for those of you who had her in the prediction contest!

[SprintRelayFan]

And Bengston out. So only 4 left in - the 4 we'd have expected to be top 4, but I think rather earlier than we might have expeted!

[carterhatch]

rubbish chair for Bradshaw to sit on while waiting for next height .... so much for cagey 1500, an OR in the second semi, and we have three male Brits in the final, harks back to days when it was a given LOL
