    Also picked up on a 20.33 from Canadian Sarah Mitton.

    Gabby Thomas struggling in her 200 semi. Seems her pulling out of New York earlier this month wasn't precautionary as she's been struggling with a hamstring injury. She scraped into the final but don't fancy her chances in the final unfortunately.

    But that was just in the street, wasn't it? This was AT THEIR CHAMPS.

    6 men have now gone over 80m in the hammer, the most since the 7 in 2012. There are also a couple more over 79.85. WC could be lively.

    Wow! Not discounting Stahl at all, but watching Alekna and Ceh in the coming years will be fantastic.

    I remember that nasty assault on Bosse a while ago too.

    And Dai Greene won a Word Championship a while ago now, but a lot more recent than Akabusi.

    And yet Alastair Chalmers got the World qualifying standard making him by definition world class. But don’t let facts get in the way of your pessimism.

    Ahh, thanks for clearing that up for me... I always imagined that the first three past the post rule meant that if those that did have the standard, but didn't get into the top three would be left out.

    Poor USA 5k runners had their trials in Eugene moved to morning run today , as temperature is going to be max 36 degrees today.. The 200m runs and both hurdles races will enjoy rather hot runs and add in those lovely helpful winds and I think we will see some great performances .

    And her base speed is why she will be WC in a couple of weeks. Sadly we have no 400m hurdlers of remotely world class and the last one to be able to run fast was a great fave , Akabussi , who as you recall was a National champion on the flat.The reason why Dos Santos is a likely medallist is his flat speed ,mid 44s

    That run from McLaughlin means she has 4 of the 5 fastest times in history.

    Gunnell is now only the 11th fastest all time with the 10 ahead of her having recorded 23 separate performances better her ex WR. That event has moved on hugely in contrast with m800 where Coe’s NR is still the joint 9th fastest all time, tied with Amos with only Rudisha and Kipleter ahead of him.

    Yes - they'll take the 6th and 11th place guys. (Or are any of those above them in a rankings spot?)
