Duplantis just set the men’s pole vault OR and then pulled the Dikec pose, haha.

He’s moving the bar up for his next run to try to break his own WR.

Brilliant from Keely, at 22 she could be around for another 4 olympics too

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Buzzing for Keely there what a run!

Slimy Tory coe gets his face in

Fucking lol, Leigh Harriet’s watching it on Eurosport. Big fuck off to the bbc who have a camera there, no reaction

Firestick lol…

 

[stan bowles]

What is Steve Cram on about ? "Nervy", "more difficult than she expected". She controlled the race from start to finish and won by about 6 yards.

The BBC video editors will have a bit of work tonight, adding a few seconds onto the end of THAT VT.

 

[levets]

She cruised through that race. Rolls Royce of a runner. Never in doubt

Kipgeyon robbed there. Surely overturn on appeal

Should be, I assume the Ethiopians have complained. Tsegay cut her off though, no way was she at fault.

Huge controversy in the women’s 1500m final, with one of the Kenyan runners taken off the podium via disqualification after a scuffle with a Ethiopian runner during the run, which I think was actually more the Ethiopian’s fault than the Kenyan’s.

Thought that girl who’s name sounded like sucking diesel was gonna be a threat think she finished last .

First try he cleared legs and body but clipped the bar with his arm.

 

[normskih]

Let’s hope for the same from Cocky Kerr tomorrow night. 1500 metres a blue ribbon event for me

Fingers crossed because I don’t like Ingerbritsen.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Bored of it all now. But well done Britain.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Being interviewed on Eurosport now (before bbc lol)

Second of three possible attempts at the WR ended in the same outcome.

 

[levets]

Is Paula drunk? Anne Packer 1994?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Duplantis (Sweden), who already has the gold in the men’s pole vault, trying one last time to beat his own WR.
