Seems to be a low pole vault bar as well!

Good for the 2 GB girls to make the final, there's too many big dogs in this field though for a medal I think unless one of them under performs.
Looks between Alfred and Thomas to me - they both breezed through

Yeah, Thomas, Brown, Alfred and Olifi should finish in the top 4.

Daryll looks like she's our top sprinter now. I think 4th in the 100m smarts and is gunning for some podium time.
Mens pole vault is mental. So many clearing 5.90 first time.
E: The women's team sprint gold earlier was a cracking ride and WR to boot.

If Keeley wants an Olympic gold medal I feel she might never get a better chance than tonight, especially as her nemesis stacked it in the US trials and didn't make it.
Edit: Shame there isn't more runners about like Hassan, proper runner just seems to love going out there racing whatever the distance! Doing the 5k, 10k and Marathon here!

I know, I remember Kelly running. Goddammit ageing is stupid.When you feel old when our current 800m star was only 2 when Kelly Holmes won and I can remember those golds like they were yesterday

Yeah, I don't think she'd have a better chance than tonight although I think she'd prefer everybody was there - I also think she'd still win.
She was tiny when she did London last year

Duplantis over 6.00m like it was a warm up vault.
Bloke is arguably one of the best sportsmen in the world right now but doesn't get much credit cos of the event, if he did the 100 metres they'd be spending all night hyping him up.

Surprised to see the Ethiopians fall back towards the end, two kenyans out front were different class. No idea where they get that additional energy at the end from.
It wasn't a quick race, and the three quickest 1500 runners took 1,2,3. Not that much of a surprise!

They’re hyping Keeley up like there’s no tomorrow. Be embarrassing now if she doesn’t get it.
Soldato
I worry about this cos I swear every athlete they've hyped up to this degree hasn't won!
Peaty got the same treatment. Daley did but he was never gonna win gold unless the Chinese messed up. Schriever as well.

Was just saying the same. We love to build Brits up too much.
Soldato
Yeah, she's probably really feeling that pressure for herself and her supporters after all the build up.
