Yeah. Ran well. She qualified 9th on 11.01 the same as Asher - Smith and was eliminated because they took the time to the thousandth. But they relented and let her in.

Looked like the Jamacian was pulling up

She knows she was out too slow. If she fixes that and can still accelerate off the turn she has every chance of a medal.

Women are bitches

Another interesting evening in store. Sarah Lavin is in the form of her life so hopefully she can progress. And Ciara will likely need a lifetime best to have a chance of a medal. Not impossible given the form sheโ€™s in too.

Great win that. All eyes on the Jamaicans and the rarely seen swooper from the #8 prevails. Glorious.

Me man didnt see her til she was over the line.

Any videos of rhasidats race last night?

@Mac could we give the womenโ€™s 4 X400m relay a rattle? Especially if Adeleke rocks up. Her, the Rose of Keeper Hill Sharlene, Becker and AN OTHER as line up? Should make final?

Be hopeful of making the final anyway. The other 2 girls that are part of the squad would be 52-53 second 400m runners I think. The Dutch, the Poles and the Americans will have squads way beyond ours so weโ€™d need a few batons dropped by others to get a medal Iโ€™d say.

Is the lovely Sharlene going to run that as well?

She is indeed.

Becker
Harrison / Murray
Adeleke
Mawdsley

is my predicted running order

Sarah Lavin up now

3rd for Lavin I think. Safely into semi final anyway.
