The Olympics

That was wonderful

Tom Barr is a great bit of stuff. His legacy should be solid.

The men’s 400M hurdle final is at 4.20am Tuesday morning.

It may be the race of the Olympics. Quite possible 1st and 2nd run under WR which was only recently broken having been longest track record standing for 29 years.

Beach volleyball is some load of bollix. The hugging each other after each point is a bit much

men’s hammer qualifying and associated chat on eurosport is a nice way to pass an evening

This is what it’s all about.

Ciara Mageean going now in her 1500 metres heat. You’d love to see her do it for Jerry.

10th for Ciara Mageean. Collapsed on the last lap after being well situated at the bell. That’s very disappointing. David Matthews suggesting something is not right with her.

The situation here is quite similar to Thomas Barr earlier. Mageean was in Heat 1 of 3. So there are two remaining heats of the 1500. The first six in all three heats qualify, plus the six fastest others across the three heats.

4:07.29 is Mageean’s time. If three of the fastest others in the remaining two heats beat her time, she’s gone. Let’s hope for some slow tactical running here in the remaining heats.

This heat is three seconds quicker at 800 metres than Mageean’s one. Not looking good.

What a last lap by Hassan
Unreal

Two athletes ran quicker than Mageean. She now needs 7th in the next heat to be slower than her.

The official website is very quick with the times.

This heat is five seconds quicker than Heat 1 at 800 metres. Sarah Healy has been dropped.

Mageean misses out.

The unfortunately named Quentin Bigot of France qualifies in first place from Hammer Qualification Group A.

Jesus that Mageean interview was tough. Individual sport is a right Cunt of a thing sometimes
