Warholm hasnât been running close to that level for a while now. Winston Benjaminâs young fellow is favourite to win this. Benjamin edged him out in Monaco a few weeks ago.
The performance of Sedykh and Litvinov at the Cork City Sports has been referenced here. Iâve a vague memory of it. Was the world record broken by both of them that night?
The previous world record was beaten six times that night

The greatest night in the history of hammer throwing.
The repechage in athletics has been a great success.

Only 3 lads running in this race
Just the 3 runners in the first repechage heat in the menâs 400 metres. 4 no shows on the starting line.
Only 5 coming down for the next one
Saving themselves for relay the lads reckon

Oh no. Poor Holly Bradshaw. Sheâs in tears after failing to qualify in the pole vault. That is the heartbreak of the Olympics.
No such problems for reigning champion Katie Nageotte Moon.
Can the horsey set advise if weâve a medal chance in the show jumping today?
Aside from Harringtonâs gold medal fight & Wiffen in the Seine, is it just Adeleke as a realistic week 2 medal hope? Or am I missing loads?
Edit: And Mageean with a sniff of a bronze?
Should Ireland be doing a lot better better with the equestrian and the horses in general? Ireland seemingly dominates national hunt racing on the world stage at the likes of Cheltenham âthe Olympics of national hunt racingâ and flat racing on the world stage as well but seems to make very little impact with the horses at the Olympic Games proper.

Womenâs 4x400m women. Might make a final
I reckon Mageean is going to struggle with the step up in standard that all the East Africans in the field will bring.
Adeleke a much better shout for a medal.
Yep, is Muir going in that race too? Thereâs some Aussie posting incredulous times lately too based on her previous form.
The one of the horsey lads might get in the mix today.
Letâs go Sophie.
