Hup outta that. Brilliant run and a very deserved place in a world final. Very controlled after what looked a slow enough start

Same time as this morning

Serious consistency

Great stuff from Lavin. Is it just last year or 2 she’s really come up the ranks?

Michelle Jenneke is still at it anyway :joy:

She lost her partner two years ago. Incredible strength to keep going from her. Real nice girl too.

Visser showing that the hurdles are there to be jumped

Didn’t stop Tapper there

Based on those times Lavin shouldn’t be disgraced in the final. A medal would be a huge reach but she should be expecting 4th or 5th which would be incredible.

We specialise in 4th place finishes in these types of events so hoping it doesn’t happen her

Visser should have been winning that heat at a hack canter though. The Dutch women will be quick enough to tell her where she went wrong

Squeaky bum time now

Did Bubkha ever labour like this?

He’s tightening up bigtime

Looks like Duplantis got over there in the background. I’m on BBC coverage

Some finish from Doom.

Jesus, that’s like the time Jimmy Magee saw Stephen Roche on Alpe D’huez :grinning:

Some hijinx from the Belgians at the changeovers. They look like an awful boring shower

Unreal race that

The crowd cheer was a giveaway. You could just about make out a yellow flash in the background

The missus is fuming at it here.
