Duplantis. Most dominant athlete at these games that I’ve seen.

Nice to see a Brit take out the 800 m

Gold for the UK's Keely Hodgkinson in the women's 800 metres. Far too strong for the rest of the field.

I wish the tv stations would let you choose track or field. Watching the pole vault and it kept going away to sprint heats. So annoying.

His 9th World record!

The pole vault is the best field event imo. Any medal for nz would be great.
