You will probably know more about this than me but I thought she looked excellent technically. A superb start, a very good transition, and ran all the way through the line holding her form.

Absolutely bud. Getting the start is one thing, but maintaining her form and to lead all the way through the finish line was superb.

Thanks for the reply pal - I’m pretty sure we agree on most things ;-)

I don't think we disagree on this either - I'd like to see her on the circuit more.
As for her 400 flat speed, her best is now 48.74, against 48.76 for Paulinha. Given she doesn't race 400m flat, her time is incredible and I would also love to see her compete in the event.

Ingebritsein just smashed the 3000m world record by about 3 seconds.
Daniel Komens previous record was years ago.

Just catching up now. Brilliant run from Bol.

Brilliant performance from Ingebrigtsen, love that he always wants to put on a show.

Duplantis world record lasted about 2 weeks.

Got at least 10 more in him.

Yavi nearly takes the steeplechase world record, great athlete.

Unfortunately for her the news out of Bahrain recently doesn't help.

Brilliant from Tebogo, so good to watch.

Where the hell has he pulled that from!?
Flat course?
He's beat Naguse though, so some performance.
