Sure a horse fucked over the irish woman last time as well. I think they’ve done away with the random horse part of it now
The Dutch women look confident 
They are dropping it alright but I seem to recall the men had no problem with the same horses the following day.
Sha’Carri Richardson making a shite of some lads theories about hairstyles and marginal gains in these championships
Richardson looked ridiculously cool there
How was Sha’carri breathing? Her mouth looks completely closed, must take serious practice to breathe that efficiently
She’s fucking gorgeous
That head on shot was magnificent
Some amount of something
Some 100m sprinters hold their breath for first half of race (Linford Christie held his breath the whole race). She’s probably nose breathing and only two or three breaths

Morgan Lake of Team GB is another one to watch.
Ingebritzens demise has been greatly exaggerated
Superb race from Inga
The Spanish guy could do no more
