Brilliant :star_struck:

Sharlene seems to have a weird running style. Some run. Would another gold be a possibility if Adeleke runs?

Possible. But the Poles rested kaczmarek this morning. Will be close.

Only 0.5 sec down on their run in the Bahamas! And without Adeleke.

Jesus, thats massive tbf.

Apparently Mawdsley was a late call up for this morning. A real ballsy run from her.

Final up next: Wed 12th @ 8.05pm

Splits
Becker 51.64
Healy 51.2
Cadden 52.12
Mawdsley 49.76

Eh?

Some of this might go missed so posting the interview up. Sounds like it wasn’t the plan for Sharlene to run at all but something happened Kelly McGrory so she stepped up at the last minute. Phil Healy also ran her fastest ever relay leg which you’d easily miss at first glance. And Phil also mentions that they might have Rhasidat back for the final which I doubt she’d be saying unless something has already been mentioned. Another medal tomorrow evening is realistic if she does run and would be the stuff of dreams

Lauren knows she is going to be the one to miss out by the sounds of it…assume she would get a medal anyway…Sharlene run even more impressive with that context…serious leadership

RTE just taking the global feed this evening on the Player giving everyone the night off. Bol going now in the 400mH final

Bol wins by about 20m in a new CR. Barely looks out of breath. Looks like Warholm broke the CR in the men’s event earlier too

Yeh, 2 championship records. Both were 20 meters ahead off the bend.
Peters in 3rd there also for the Dutch, if both go tomorrow evening, will take some beating.
