I hate that they didn't build podiums with a basic plastic screen between each level. Those photos will be shown to their grand kids, would be so much better without masks.

Yeah Aussie girl is out based on that time.

Olympic record

She's shattered. They're insisting on it. Fuck off.

Off the masks come for a photo op. Not sure why they need to stay on during the anthem

Kerr clears the height!

[canefan]

Holy crap, the guy from Qatar has got crazy hops, and rapper swag to boot

[antipodean]

800m - too far to sprint, too short to pace. Brutal distance.

[Rapido]

That was a crazy fun 800m semi.

Pole squeezed through a gap on inside twice!

Who is the kiwi commentator on the high jump?

[Rapido]

Huge jump by the one eyed crow!

Kerr wasn’t even close to it. He’s all done.

[Stargazer]

That means a 10th place for Kerr.

Well above his pb, but he's still young so hopefully he'll use it as a platform and build towards 2024.

Looking at the field, he should be targeting a medal at the comms next year (assuming that they happen).

This Qatari is a freak

[Rapido]

This korean jumper is awesome!

[Stargazer]

New National Record for Korea.

[Stargazer]

The Aussie jumps a season best (or pb?)!

[gt12]

Spanish triple jumper is my kind of angry.

They said his PB is 2.36. 1 cm higher than this
