Google tells me that Hassan is the first woman to podium in the 1500, 5000, and 10,000 (2nd to win the 5,000 and 10,000).

Pretty fucking cool.

Congrats to the Boomers. Patty Mills with a performance for the ages. Finally a medal for the Boomers. The Goorjian factor can’t be underestimated too. Pretty stoked for them. Gaze sounded like he was about to cry in the commentary box!

@act-crusader just saw a tweet that said we had finished 4th place five times. No wonder he's emotional

Aussie girl in the top 3 for high jump. Nobody over at 2.04 right now.

She's guaranteed a medal. Colour TBD.

This Aus high jumper is an odd fish

She looks like she's about to collapse with an anxiety attack every time. And the notebook....

Tbh they all look like they could use a sandwich.

Russian clears 204. That is probably gold

Ukraine out at 204 having cleared before that. Aussie has Silver at this point

Yeah mate. Between Olympics, World Champs and other comps, they have found themselves in 4th a fair bit.

The emotion really spilling over with Mills, Ingles, Goorj.

There is crazy, and then there is that level of crazy.

I never knew high jumpers were so emotional. What a farking cavalcade of tear sessions.
