I could watch Eliza all day

[Damo]

Eliza does it easy with her first attempt.

Smiley as always. Gotta love Eliza.

[Crucial]

@Mokey has stopped posting on the Pole Vault.

Maybe she has been inspired to write a new grubby chapter?

[Stargazer]

Tall Ferns are trailing Australia: 17 - 35 in the 2nd.

[Stargazer]

That Aussie team looks so much taller than the Kiwis.

[Stargazer]

Shotput: the Jamaican, Thomas-Dodd, has thrown 19:36 and now leads. Val Adams still at 18:70 with only one attempt remaining.

The 'Not so Tall Ferns'?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

These pole vaulters are spectacular! The skill, yes skill on display. So much skill.

Except for the Brit who looks like an East German athelete from the 70s.

[Bones]

@stargazer Yeah, big jump from her previous best there by the Jamaican to get a national record...

Eliza smokes the second vault.

[Bones]

Robertson takes the lead in the 10k...

[Stargazer]

Val Adams wins Silver. Last attempt 18:55. Jamaican wins Gold, Canadian Bronze.

[Crucial]

Watch can't we just watch the pole vaulters wandering around, stretching, towelling off....

[Mokey]

Jamaican wins shotput easily. Eliza looking good in the pole vault. Tall Ferns getting their asses kicked.

[Mokey]

Robertson in the leading bunch in the 10,000m.

[Bones]

Bugger doesn't look like Robertson can stick with it now...

[Bones]

Jebus, the Ugandan looks like he's just taking a mosey down the shops, wins it. Robertson misses out on a medal.

[Mokey]

Down to 2 in the pole vault. Aussie wins bronze.
