For anyone else interested. Definitely should get silver. Maybe gold but Jamaica's Shelley Fraser Pryce has been a hair quicker in the heats.
Dina Asher Smith 100m final on now

Just been watching the Triple Jump final, Edwards sure jumped a long way back in the day.
Edit: 10.71, that's quick!
Silver will have to do, for now, but at 23 DAS is only going to get quicker and quicker.

Yep, I watched the triple jump, goes to show how amazing Edwards was.
Well done to Dina, but yeah, 10.71 to Fraser Pryce who was doing 10.81s in the heats.

Wow, wtf, Dina doing a lap of honour and no audience, everyone's already gone home!

Lap of honour to an empty stadium 
Not surprised to read Police are investigating officials for possibly accepting bribes.

Shame for the athletes, stuff like athletics should never be held in places like Doha.
Good race from Asher Smith though, so much power from someone so small!

Adam Gemili just stormed his 200m semi final with 20.03. That matches the chinese runner. The two fastest got 19.80+. Hopefully he can at least win a bit of alloy tomorrow night.

Michael Johnson is the coolest man on TV, One of best TV pundits going, speaks his mind and is bang on the money every single time.
The high-jump final was fantastic.
Such a shame athletics is selling its soul, Seb Coe is shocking, mind you typical Tory.

Agreed, Michael Johnson is a legend and always predicts outcomes correctly, he really knows his stuff. Yep women's high jump final was great.
Today's schedule, and the noteworthy ones in bold. Four finals and a semi. Don't know who's in the pole vaulting, javelin or 800m finals but should be good to watch. Dina Asher again in the 200m women's semi, should come first or second. Adam Gemili hopefully bronze in his 200m men's final.

Men's pole vault is awesome! Two men left standing, USA v Sweden going tit for tat, both just passed 5.97m and now going for 6.02m. World record is 6.16m.

Dina is ******* great! I've been watching athletics since 1990, and have never had a female British sprinter to cheer for until now.
Yeah Dina really should get gold in the final, she's the outright favourite now.
Adam Gemili on now in the 200m final. But Lyles will take gold.

Damn, Gemili was in medal position but ended 4th. Lyles got gold.
Yeah, I guess he was never going to medal because he's never been in the sub 20s through these heats and semi final and the 3 medallists were always in the 19s. But his PB is just under 20 seconds so he's capable. If he takes Michael Johnson's advice and doesn't tighten up towards the end, he can find that speed.
