Limericks finest up now.

Bol wins the 2nd semi at a hack canter

She’s gone - has to be gone

Special rules here for the Dutch

Has to go

Fair play to her :clap::clap:

The indoor 400 is a tough race when they gone together

Go on Sharlene!

A world indoor final. That’s a ridiculously good achievement

Mighty! That’s some field she was in and come 3rd in. She’s developing beautifully

Tactics were absolutely perfect. Well done

She got shunted back at the break when fighting for position but rebounded very well. Said earlier she would need a PB to qualify (<51.91) for final so might be surprised to get third in 52.16.

Looked like she eased down close to home. The Jamaican ran with lead in her legs.

She has no hope of a medal but her consistency is ridiculous. Top 6 in the world indoors is beyond what most Irish people will ever achieve in sports but she’ll likely get no PR for it either. Fair fucks to her. Hard work paying off

Bol looks like she’s out for a Sunday morning jog :man_shrugging:

She’ll smash the world record in the final. She’s been running faster this winter than she ever has before

And it’s not even her main event. Hopefully she sticks to the hurdles in the Olympics

Warholm is the same. They target the indoors as part of their outdoor hurdles prep and run faster than 90% of most flat runners. It’s bonkers

Pentathlon runners here running 800m in just over 2 mins and look like they’re walking

Sharlene has been disqualified

Ireland appealing. Seems very petty but rules are rules

That’s ridiculously harsh. The Austrian wan cut Mawdsley off at the initial break so it was only returning the favour & didn’t even stand out a little bit. It wasn’t raised as a talking point in any of the coverage at all.

Rubbings racing.

Fuck em.

Irelands appeal fails. Sharlene is out.

Cunts.
