The uk guy seems to have not been bothered enough or good enough to get involved in the Omnium

Thiam's equalled her shot put PB, not good for KJT, she needs to do similar.

 

[MCFC1993]

KJT sets a new shot put PB, 14.44, 60cm over her PB.

Some tough rounds there but Carlin wins on points ;)

 

[MCFC1993]

KJT just 50 points behind Thiam going into the 200m, which is 0.5 of a second. KJT's PB is 1.5secs faster.

Needs a gap to take account of the javelin difference where her PB is nearly 30% better than the scousers

Long jump (and triple jump) is such a funny event.

Will they ever actually use this in normal life? No, because they aren’t actually jumping in a practical way; they’d break something jumping like that anywhere other than a stadium with a long sand pit.

But do we still enjoy watching them do it? Yes, we do.

So people train nearly every day of their life when they are young to be crowned the best adult jumper-in-to-a-long-sand-pit in the world!

My cousin lives near Greg Rutherford. His winning distance is marked out on the village green. It is huge!! Many have tried and failed (particularly on the way back from the pub!) but you have to have a go

She has a much faster 200m and 800m and a slightly better long jump.

Off of PB's, she has about 250 points on Thiam in the runs and 25ish in the long jump. Loses 300 to her in the Javelin though.

Probably needs a Javelin PB.

And probably broken or strained something trying!
