            No Jamaica, no Japan and no US - in the top 3.

            Amazing Italy. Love it.

                If I was a betting man, I would have put my money on Kipyegon.

                Yep. Kipyegon has always had that burst. Amazing 1500m runner. In Rio with 200 to go she was neck a neck with another runner and she found another gear and won it easy.

                  I'm happy that Allyson Felix got herself a bronze in the 400 m final but Shaunae Miller-Uibo was in a class of her own. It helps to be so tall.

                  She’s really impressive to watch.

                  Especially when she stays upright and is not diving…. 😉

                      Penalty shootout to decide the women’s football gold medal.

                      First ever time in a women’s gold medal match.

                      I almost feel sick for these girls!

                            Bjorn for Sweden for their second and it’s a nice goal.

                              Swedish keeper saves the second Canadian one.

                                      No power in these kicks.

                                        Another save for the Swedish keeper. Fairly easy to pick that one off.
