Sharlene is fucking horizontal

Rhasidat has the hair tied up. She means bidniz.

That was close. Just ran out of puff.

Fuck it

Didn’t think her start was great… The Pole is known for home speed, we needed a bit of a lead

Seeing an Irish 400m runner looking gutted with a silver… Things have changed

Sharlene completely burnt off, she’ll be very disappointed with that.

Adeleke looks very disappointed which in itself is great to see. A serious medal.

Presume winner hasn’t been involved in other comps here like Rhasidat?

Looked like the mid section close up took a lot out of her and there was nothing left

I thought she had that. Just didn’t have enough strength last 50m.

Shows how highly we regard her that it’s an anti climax to get silver.

She’s just run the fastest race of her life and been beaten by a World medallist. It’s disappointing but after the finals in last year’s World’s and the Euros the year before that’s a serious run. Experience counted

Adeleke made the Pole dig really really deep there. That’s an incredible run in truth. When you see how Klaver was left for dead, it’s a measure of the top two

My thoughts too. 2 golds and a silver is some going.

Sub 49 winning time. Two PBs. Can’t do much more. The Pole ran a great great race. Lots of guts to come back when Rhasidat came by her.

Very proud to see an Irish girl run so well in a major championship. She’ll take gold soon enough.

Kaczmarek is class in fairness. Great finish.

She’s a superstar. So understated as well and never draws the hype on herself

It won’t be her last individual medal at major championships… That’s for sure

Adeleke

Klaver
Kaczmarek

The best looking track and field race I have seen.

Apologies for the misogynism
