Ryoichi Akamatsu of Japan quite literally is the rising son of high jumping. He’s cleared 2.31.
Shelby McEwen of the US could be the man here though. He’s cleared four different heights at the first time of asking.
Ethiopians doing their usual thing here trying to burn everyone off
George Mills out of contention.
Ingerbritsen looks well placed.
Surely win now
Ingebrigtsen redeems himself. He blitzed them.
He shouldn’t bother his hole with 1500 any more, tis 10000 the lad wants
The Kenyans and Ethiopians just gift wrapped that for Ingerbritsen running it at such a slow pace.

Awesome
Made the other lads look like plodders
Another medal for the US. The doping programme is already beginning to crank up ahead of LA '28.
A coronation for the Norwegian. The Ethiopians make a pure bollix of another long distance race with their team running.

Beating Kerr is better craic for him than the Ethiopians I’d say

Greg and David seemed to think they were off mic there briefly when discussing the ease with which Ingubritsen won
The Ethiopians aren’t very good at these team tactics. Maybe they should just go out and run their own races.

I’ve a bit of time for Ingebritsen after he stopped to talk to David Gillick straight after the 1500
Funny the things that would sway you

He won’t be happy until he beats Kerr in a Championship race over 1500m I’d say. Good to know he’s human. He’s a cocky fucker but a genuine sort at the same time
Jessica Hull vs Faith Kipyegon should be some battle here. Muir won’t be far off them hopefully.
This other Italian High Jumper pulling it out of the bag out of nowhere
Kenya have a cool flag
