Kipyegon looked very good so that will be one hell of a final.

I thought the wee Mexican girl (Moran) looked a bit more athletic..,

PB for McPherson. Fastest qualifier on the 400m.

[KiwiMurph]

Good first lift for David Liti. What a chiller.

[voodoo]

This steeplechase is good!

[Stargazer]

@voodoo I kind of hoped Frerichs could stay ahead.

Conditions look brutal.

Heaps of Aussies trained up here before departure. Should have come in summer

Georgian weightlifter breaks his own world record. Not a bad day's work.

This fucking unit. 197cm and 176kg

First lift at snatch was 208kg was a WR.
Went on to lift 215 and 223. Without even trying.

Fuck a duck.

Everyone else is playing for second.

[Stargazer]

That Polish hammer thrower already has two throws over 81m!

[KiwiMurph]

David Liti with a PB in the clean & jerk. Brilliant!

[gt12]

Why don’t they get the men and women to throw the same hammer weight?

[voodoo]

It’s pretty crazy that Peter Snell ran the same winning 800m time ( 1:45.1) when he won gold on a cinder track in 1964.

@nta absolute unit, and has mint technique. The bar speed is fucking mental on his jerk in particular.
6/6 and records all over the show. Well done that man.

[Paekakboyz]

and Liti got 5th which is bloody good. A very strong field!

ahem.
