Wow I love Dame Denise’s dress. Once again she outshines them all. She is a beautiful woman. I think I watch more to see what she is wearing and to hear her and Michael talk than to watch the Athletics this year!!! :-)

Brilliant Duplantis, a great night, a wee bit jealous of my sister and brother in law who are in the stadium with their kids.

What was the previous world record?

6.24 by him, he's set it like 10 times now.

More power to him. If anyone else could do it, they should. ;-)

Looking at the Kipyegon incident again, probably right she's disqualified. Tsegay was all over the place though.

A shame for Bartocletti who doesn't get to celebrate on the night, but can celebrate when she gets her medal.

Let's try to keep the derogatory comments about certain countries out of the thread.
