400m men’s hurdles off.

We don’t have anyone to push for the podium, unfortunately.

Warholm choked at the end and the American, Rai Benjamin, takes another gold.

Brilliant from the crowd cheering Megan Keith like that at the end, that will have made all that pain worth it for her.

She still ran 33mins as well, most of us can only dream.

Another gold for the 'muricans.

Imagine.
My.
Surprise.

Warholm choked at the end and the American, Rai Benjamin, takes another gold.

Went to form, Warholm hasn't been right all season since coming back from injury.

BREAKING NEWS: Japan wins first ever gold in the event.

Good night for the Brit’s and happy for KJ and the relay teams. Shame we can’t have an Olympics without the yanks.

Spain wins their first ever medal in men’s Triple Jump…

And it’s gold!

Day of the Spaniards! ;-)

I was worried this year would be the year Johnathan Edwards record would be broken. Crazy to think it's been near 30 years. I think Diaz or Hibbert potentially could break it in their careers. I hope not.

Watching breaking. Great talent and athleticism but the bravado is sickening. Essentially it is compeitive disrespect.
