Lyles had a mask on pre-race, so definitely backs up that he knew he wasn't well.

It doesn't reflect well on him, to be honest. "hugging" Bednarek after the race, along with mixing with the other finalists in some sort of common area.

Thiam runs close to her pb in the 200m. KJT needs to do similar.

 

[SebastianBlue]

That lad from Pakistan looks like he could peg that javelin out of the arena.
Nearly 93m.

I think it would go the other way round, mate.

That's daft to get that close to Bednarek but there aren't any rules around it at the games. It's basically being treated as a virus now with regards to the rules. We know it's much worse on the respiratory system than the standard virus. Plenty have probably competed knowingly and unknowingly.

Brilliant! Lyles only gets the bronze!

So glad the prancing **** got wasted… show some humility you ****

Which would suggest maybe it wasn’t common knowledge in the US team - if I was Bednarwk I’d have been giving him a wide birth!

Lyles had a mask on in the call room pre-race, so they probably all knew.

Not the smartest thing to do though.

Near me peg is a loose term for throwing.
I just googled peg and one of the " urban terms" did set me back a little.

Watching the Mens Basketball Semi Final, USA vs Serbia via a dodgy stream.

Yeah; I've always taken "peg" to mean to throw. I've just googled it.....

 

[jimharri]

Just do it KJT.

 

[jimharri]

Is that Cucurella's sister?

 

[MCFC1993]

KJT gets just 1second on Thiam. She leads overnight but is going to need something to go her way on day 2.

 

[MCFC1993]

Next on track:
20:25 – Women’s 400m Hurdles – FINAL

Heart wants Bol to win it, she races all season, never shirks a race and is better for the sport but head says McLaughlin in a new world record.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Let KJT go and have a rest for goodness sake. She needs to rest.

 

[Eccles Blue]

If you carry on like this young man I’m taking all your social media away from you for 24 hours!!
All your gadgets will go in the drawer if you don’t settle down.

 

[Gray]

So Lyles has covid and ran the final.

How many people has he infected?
