The Eritrea and Uganda athletes have no track discipline whatsoever lmao

[Jack_]

Talking of Cotter I remember last year how surprised I was at what he looked like

Dare I say a dilf?

[Macie Lightfoot]

WOW Paul Chilemo was ready to snatch someone's weave during that race

[Headie]

Kyle said he was a big girl earlier so I have stereotyped him as gay bye even though he has a girlfriend x

I get gay vibes off Butchart tbh <3

[Headie]

Live footage of Chelimo's revenge in the final?

[Headie]

Oh are the 200 semis on already? Come thru Nethaneel and Danny x

[Jack_]

I hope Makwala wins the 200, what a great story that'd be

[Headie]

I hope Makwala wins the 200, what a great story that'd be

Same but I want Nethaneel to win the semi </3

[Black Dagger]

I get gay vibes off Butchart tbh <3

I think it is the earring.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Hayden ur Chinese girl is winning SP after two rounds xx

[Headie]

Hayden ur Chinese girl is winning SP after two rounds xx

Come thru Gong :clap1:

I caught a glimpse of Michelle Carter's outfit/kit and she randomly reminded me of a shot=putting version of Effie White lmao

[Headie]

Isaac Makwala becoming the sweetheart of the championships is NOT what I expected but I am here for it <3

He got more cheers than Nethaneel lmao

[Jack_]

hello @ Tortu

[Black Dagger]

Damn it

[Headie]

**** sake if Makwala had been put in the 2nd heat then Mitchell-Blake would've been through :joker:

[Headie]

Phil jumping Isaac to get an interview :joker:

[Headie]

Poor Nethaneel having his interview halted :joker: Phil just abandoned questioning him

[Headie]

"And Nethaneel what do you think of this man beside you xoxo"

**** that, talk about Nethaneel's performance instead

[Headie]

"Nethaneel WHEN DID YOU LEARN THAT MAKWALA WAS GONNA BE IN UR SEMI XOXO"

Jesus Christ

[Headie]

I hope 20.19 is fast enough considering the weather conditions

[Headie]

Yikes @ Yohan Blake

[Headie]

Yeah I'm pretty sure Mitchell-Blake has done enough to make the final now

*touch wood*

[Jack_]

Why is Gatlin not doing the 200?

[Headie]

Why is Gatlin not doing the 200?

I don't actually know, I'm sure Macie will educate us!

I was more disappointed that US athlete Just'N Thymes (yep that's his real name) didn't make the team, simply for his name

[Headie]

Van Niekerk run out of automatic place :o

And suddenly we have a real event on!

[Headie]

Did Webb clip the line on the bend?

[Headie]

Phil: "You've had a tough time, that medal ceremony must've taken a lot out of you tonight xoxo"

[Headie]

Gong throws 19.94 :love:

Am I about to win £100 :amazed:

[Headie]

Yasssssss gong queen

[Headie]

My biggest betting win so far <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

I actually don't have much of an answer tbh! Christian Coleman was initially in but he opted to just focus on the 100 so that's why Kyree King was in. Justin Gatlin didn't even race the 200 at USAs so I guess it wasn't in his ~plan~

[Jack_]

****ing HOWLING @ the echo they had planned

[Jack_]

I see, well I guess it paid off lol

[Headie]

Screaming what is that Qatar athlete wearing

[Macie Lightfoot]

can't be mad at Warholm winning tbh

Qatar FELL APART after the tenth hurdle holy moly

[Headie]

Yasssss just won more money, got 1) Warholm 2) Copello race forecast at 20/1 :amazed:

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh good another opportunity for NBC to talk about Shaunae DIVING across the line when she ****ing fell

[Headie]

WHAT THE ****

[Headie]

She dead ass stopped with 10m to go

[Macie Lightfoot]

WOW Phyllis Francis with her Will Smith haircut and salt bae intro

[Headie]

That was... bizarre

[Macie Lightfoot]

jesus christ NBSCN said the whole race that Miller and Felix were STRIDE FOR STRIDE but now they're taking it all back and saying Miller led hmmmm

[Headie]

Not wanting to jinx anything but if Miller is injured and DNS the 200, and Bowie/Lee-Ahye not contesting, Dina Asher-Smith could medal?

[Macie Lightfoot]

I love when the script gets completely flipped and someone just mentioned as a footnote ends up winning :love:

[Headie]

idk if Miller is actually injured I think she was just tiring wayyyyy too fast and lost all momentum lmao

WHERE WAS THE DIVE GURL

[Macie Lightfoot]

I love when people like Phyllis Francis and Devon Allen throw up the O before and after races like they're still in college :joker:

[Headie]

I love when the script gets completely flipped and someone just mentioned as a footnote ends up winning :love:

I had her pegged for a medal but her winning is just :love:

[Headie]

Isaiah Young is 18/1 to win the 200m... when he looked the best of all the semi-finalists tonight? :conf:

Richards is the fave and Niekerk & Makwala are both at 2/1

[Headie]

I'm pissing omg :joker:

I had to laugh at how OTT the tone of that article is too

[Headie]

Weather looks great in the stadium today :flutter:

Tonight's a pretty good night event-wise

[Jack_]

Gabby really does hate the IAAF :joker: sticking the knife in

[Headie]

Gabby really does hate the IAAF :joker: sticking the knife in

Perched for her arrest later

Here for Seb Coe gatecrashing the studio and throwing her over the balcony

[Headie]

I hope they actually show us the High Jump qualification tonight seeing as Morgan Lake and KJT are in it

[Jack_]

I'd be surprised if they didn't, priority usually goes to events with Brits in them

I know her jump in Rio would've won the gold but what's Kat's chances in this btw?

[Headie]

I'd be surprised if they didn't, priority usually goes to events with Brits in them

I know her jump in Rio would've won the gold but what's Kat's chances in this btw?

Well Mariya Lasitskene, the current world champion, has been authorised by the IAAF to compete as a neutral and she's been undefeated all season, jumping 2.06 (0.3 off the world record) so she's pretty much a lock for Gold barring disaster.

I think 1.98 will be enough to medal so if Kat can emulate her Rio performance it could be enough, although after her Hep HJ I'm worried for her, apparently her new coach changed her HJ run up from last year which could explain why it went so wrong.

Morgan Lake jumped 1.96 a few weeks ago so if she does that again she could be in with a chance too, but unlikely

[Headie]

Not YMCA playing in the background

[Alf]

Nice one for tipping me Gong in the Shot putt Hayden.

My bets still riding.

Hopefully Van Niekerk was holding back in the Semis, and will show his class tonight.

Thanks! Fingers crossed then, but I won't get my hopes up too much :laugh:

KJT is one of my favourite (and hottest) athletes but also the most frustrating to watch

[Headie]

Hopefully Van Niekerk was holding back in the Semis, and will show his class tonight.

You're welcome :clap1: I was so happy to win over £100 on her :laugh:

I'm tempted to put a bet on tonight for the 200m, it's wide open IMO

[Headie]

BBC are saying Dibaba is out??

[Headie]

Come on Laura! :fc:

[Headie]

Laura run out of it </3

Hope for a fastest loser spot (I think there's 5?), 14:59 could be enough

She looks so tired though :(

[Alf]

She was maybe a little to young and inexperienced to take on a World double, but she'll learn from the experience for the future.

[Headie]

BBC: "WOW LAURA LOOKING SO TIRED SHE'S NOT EVEN GONNA START IN THE FINAL IF SHE MAKES IT THROUGH SHE'S SPENT"

Laura (in her post-race interview): "I'm pretty pleased with that time, that should be enough to make it through and I look forward to running the final :)"

[Headie]

Yep Dibaba is out

Good news for Eilish McColgan, she should make it through now (touch wood)

[Macie Lightfoot]

American broadcast just started in the middle of a 5K heat with Molly Huddle way out in front about one mile in... is this live or are we on a delay?

[Headie]

It's live, Molly Huddle went for a fast pace and no one followed

They've just gone through 11 mins now

[Headie]

Why is Brendan Foster bigging up Steph Twell who's clearly about fall off the back of the pack when we have Eilish McColgan at the front of the pack :///

[Macie Lightfoot]

mkay thx hun, we just got a brief flashback of the final 100 meters of the first heat :rolleyes:

[Headie]

Welp @ the gap between Huddle and the rest closing

[Headie]

McColgan JUST makes it through as an auto-qualifier :clap1:

Muir is through too, Twell is out.

Molly Huddle through as a fastest loser I'm pretty sure

[Macie Lightfoot]

~Seven minutes earlier:

"Do you think Molly Huddle is going to pay for this on Sunday?"
"Absolutely not."

well she won't pay for it on Sunday bc she'll be watching from the stands......x

[Macie Lightfoot]

[Macie Lightfoot]

jk she might be in but that was still funny x

[Headie]

New PB for McColgan

Alol Brendan calling her Liz :joker:

[Headie]

I hope they actually show us the High Jump qualification tonight seeing as Morgan Lake and KJT are in it

Update: KJT and Lake have both cleared 1.80 at first attempt but we're here watching Karsten Warholm in the BBC studio (not that I'm complaining :flutter:)

[Headie]

We're now watching the Men's 400m hurdles final replay with Norweigan commentators :joker:

[Headie]

Women's 800m heats up now, come thru Shelayna (and Lindsay and Adelle x)

[Macie Lightfoot]

come thru Ajee'.

Remember when Natalie Negrotti was reading about her story on the back of a cereal box last summer? :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

come thru Ajee'.

:joker:

[Headie]

What's the deal with Ajee failing/miss a drugs test or something? I heard about it but didn't really understand it, supposedly it was out of her control?

[Headie]

KJT already looks deflated and she's not even failed yet lmao

[Macie Lightfoot]

She broke the American record in the indoor 800 at the Millrose Games but then got it taken away bc she tested positive for something. I think she provided a bunch of grocery receipts and proved that it was as a result of contaminated beef that she ate or something. Apparently the amount they found in her body was so small and she proved that it wasn't her fault or whatever so she didn't have to serve a ban, they just took the record away from her.

[Macie Lightfoot]

ugh hope Brenda gets a time qualifiewr

[Headie]

Shelayna through :love: I've always loved her even before her 2015 breakthrough, one of my favourite GB athletes

Martinez is one of my fave US athletes, I hope she gets through as a fastest loser

[Macie Lightfoot]

so is Lynsey gonna bitch about having Margaret in her heat if it doesn't go well?

[Headie]

so is Lynsey gonna bitch about having Margaret in her heat if it doesn't go well?

Alol yes I'm ready for it <3

[Headie]

I am HERE for Vashti Cunningham's new look I must say

[Headie]

Alol WHY did Arzamasova open up the inside lane with 100m to go, letting Lynsey coast through :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg we haven't even seen it yet I am READY.

But we're getting a surprising amount of hype for men's TJ bc NBC's pushing the possibility of Taylor breaking the WR so I can't complain too much?

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg just when I said that here we are

[Headie]

KJT fails her first attempt at 1.89

HERE WE GO /Rebecca Jane

[Macie Lightfoot]

Inika McPherson is without a doubt the biggest mess on the US team but she really is impressive since she's only 5'5" :o

[Macie Lightfoot]

nn Lane 8 is open who is quarantined this time???

[Headie]

nn Lane 8 is open who is quarantined this time???

I don't know, we're watching a slow mo of Makwala doing push-ups xoxo

[Headie]

Lol they gave Van Niekerk lane 3 and Mitchell-Blake lane 2 even tho Mitchell-Blake had a far superior qualifying time

The Makwala conspirators were right?

[Macie Lightfoot]

Charlene Lipsey really has come into form ever since she joined Ajee's training group.

[Headie]

nn Lane 8 is open who is quarantined this time???

Welp it's Eunice Sum as well

All these big names being taken out

[Headie]

Looking at the Ugandan in that race I'm wondering why 800m attracts so many intersex athletes? :shrug: It seems odd they're high in numbers in one event but not any others (or at least visible anyway)

[Macie Lightfoot]

oops and now Charlene's saying she could see the previous heats from the call room? whatisthetruth.gif

[Headie]

Why does Hinriksdottir not sprint the first 400m anymore </3

[Headie]

I don't think Adelle Tracey will get through but I'd love to be surprised

[Headie]

Yeah she got through as a fastest loser I think

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg she put up a good fight and should get in I think?

[Headie]

omg she put up a good fight and should get in I think?

I wanna know why she was smiling so much coming down the home straight :laugh:

[Headie]

Martinez is through as well I assume?

No major casualties then

[Headie]

"I'm so happy I got through, it's like when you're a kid and you just want loads of go's and I'm so happy I get another go ^_^"

Aww she's sweet

[Headie]

KJT over 1.89 on her second attempt

If only she did that in the Hep :laugh:

[Headie]

Welp there were FOUR fastest losers from that last heat :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

we got to rewatch the Christian Taylor/Jonathan Edwards video and saw KJT's 1.89m clearance only for them to go "well after a lot of field event coverage, let's rewatch Matt Centrowitz win the Olympic medal :)" ****ing wankers x

[Headie]

we got to rewatch the Christian Taylor/Jonathan Edwards video and saw KJT's 1.89m clearance only for them to go "well after a lot of field event coverage, let's rewatch Matt Centrowitz win the Olympic medal :)" ****ing wankers x

We're watching a load of Edwards/Taylor flashbacks atm

[Headie]

Josh Kerr another undiscovered British hottie <3

[Headie]

KJT cleared 1.92 first time

[Headie]

Wtf was that heat

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm really glad we watched that Matt Centrowitz flashback now :)

I'm even more excited to watch Robby Andrews run from the back of the pack and then kick furiously to no avail :)

[Headie]

Ugh why couldn't Kat jump this in the Hep </3

[Macie Lightfoot]

jfc a 6.43m final phase on a ****ty jump for Christian

[Macie Lightfoot]

wow I'm so surprised Robby Andrews put himself in the way back for the final lap :)

such a ****ing disgrace, why does he have to be from New Jersey smh disgrace xx

[Headie]

Yikes @ the faller

Chris O'Hare safely through though <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao and he only made it bc someone got tripped up and fell, lucky ****

[Macie Lightfoot]

"The one thing he can do is concentrate on that finish line and deliver the best possible last 100 meters" HE ONLY GOT THROUGH BC SOMEONE GOT TRIPPED UP, HE STILL RACES LIKE HE'S A HIGH SCHOOLER x

[Macie Lightfoot]

WOW Will Claye WOW WOW WOW

[Headie]

Omg Claye :o

[Headie]

Kat and Morgan both made it through to the final btw <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg and Christian Taylor comes through and responds I love them

[Macie Lightfoot]

does Morgan Lake still do the multis or has she just been focusing on HJ lately?

[Macie Lightfoot]

One of the Ethiopians just stopped?

[Headie]

does Morgan Lake still do the multis or has she just been focusing on HJ lately?

"she still does multis" but I don't think she's completed a heptathlon competition since like 2015 or something

[Headie]

Will Claye again :o

[Macie Lightfoot]

can't wait to see Deajah Stevens break her lane or just collapse or something insane :love:

[Headie]

Women's 200s coming up now

Come thru Dina (she goes in Heat 3 I think)

[Macie Lightfoot]

WOW Christian Taylor omg wow

[Headie]

This Triple Jump comp tho :worship:

[Headie]

Schippers and Stevens through as expected

[Headie]

Hmm they're playing a Dina VT when Bianca is up next???

[Headie]

Shaunae Miller-Uibo says she's absolutely fine now <3 lmao

[Headie]

WHY are we talking about Bianca as if she has a chance to get top 3 in this race... she'll be flailing across the line in 6th/7th at best

[Macie Lightfoot]

NBC just showed Rohler's first throw which was well below the Q mark and were just like "welp he surely got in with that one :D :D :D"

also Deajah awkwardly ended her interview by literally going "okay BYE :)" instead of the typical "thank you xx"

[Headie]

Welp Santos false starting like crazy

[Headie]

The recall gun taking ages to go off because it was such an obvious false start :joker:

[Headie]

Kambundji just fell apart there </3

[Headie]

Fastest loser spots are currently 22.96 and 23.00 :skull: Why so slow

[Headie]

Shaunae Miller is so... American? I was expecting a thick Rihanna accent or something

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg they showed Daddy Greg hanging out with Jonathan Edward my heart just swooned

[Headie]

Come on Dina :fc: Top 2 please

[Headie]

Yasss she makes it

I predict another agonising 4th in the final lmao

[Macie Lightfoot]

yay Dina's so cute xx

[Macie Lightfoot]

why are they still talking about a US sweep still being possible lmao I'm half expecting Hejnova to beat Muhammad by like 0.3 or something

[Headie]

Another big jump from Will Claye!

[Headie]

20cm off the board :o

[Headie]

I hope we see more of Kori Carter's game face <3

[Headie]

Come thru Eilidh? lol jk she'll finish last but w/e

Idk who I want to win? Wanted messy Shamier Little to win but she didn't make the cut </3 Carter would be good I guess?

[Headie]

Come thru Eilidh? lol jk she'll finish last but w/e

[Macie Lightfoot]

just wait until Sydney gets to Kentucky next year and gets to train with Keni Harrison and Kori Carter :o :o :o

[Macie Lightfoot]

aw cute shot of Carter and Claye hugging I think

[Headie]

Here we go...

[Headie]

Just won £150 on Guliyev!!!!! Yassss

[Macie Lightfoot]

wtf another upset this is such s mess

[Macie Lightfoot]

hmm Richards looked like silver to me is this another CONSPIRACY

[Headie]

Nethaneel got 4th, wasn't even watching him </3

[Headie]

hmm Richards looked like silver to me is this another CONSPIRACY

Personally I think Makwala won that one

[Alf]

Can't believe Van Niekerk lost that. He was in-front with 50m to go. I thought his 400m stamina would have got him home.

Obviously his schedule over the week took it's toll in the end.

[Headie]

895777555004960769

Pretty underwhelming morning for GB, only Grabarz made it through

[Black Dagger]

And he will finish about 9th.

[Macie Lightfoot]

catching up on the tail end of a morning replay since I just got home and I'm SCREAMING at Deborah John's fall

[Macie Lightfoot]

Also Hayden give me the tea on what happened with ~Plastic Brit~ Tiff Porter???

[Headie]

catching up on the tail end of a morning replay since I just got home and I'm SCREAMING at Deborah John's fall

That was the weirdest fall I've ever seen :skull:

Also Hayden give me the tea on what happened with ~Plastic Brit~ Tiff Porter???

She's been non existent all season, ran less than 10 races all year I think and has hardly broker 13 seconds so I'm guessing she's been injured. She missed the trials and in her post race interview today she said ~personal reasons~ played a factor. Her sister Cindy also ended her season after just a few races due to "injury". Dot dot dot hmmm...

[Macie Lightfoot]

Hmm well I'm sure you guys would rather be represented by nobody at all than a bunch of PLASTIC BRITS so it was probably for the better.......x

[Headie]

The Ugens are in the house <3

Watch her get 4th lol

[Headie]

Oh the BBC have stopped using the official medals table now and are using the ~official IAAF points table~ which has Britain in the top 6 :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

"Nia Ali strong out of the blocks!"

wow I love jingoism.

[Headie]

We have Kori Carter in the BBC studio right now <3

[Headie]

Lol they showed Kori Carter's game face <3 *serious face* *smile* *wave* *serious face*

[Headie]

I actually love Kori Carter she seems so sweet

[Macie Lightfoot]

Christina Manning made that look VERY conservative and easy wow

[Headie]

Denise: "Hi Kori, two questions, how much hurdling do you do to improve your technique? And Keni Harrison also does 400 hurdles, is she ever going to come back to it?"

Kori: "Well, I also do both hurdles, I have since college"

[Headie]

Welp a Green card @ that clear false start

[Headie]

Yikes @ Keni Harrison :o Does she get a fastest loser?

[Macie Lightfoot]

jesus christ Kendra Harrison continues to prove that she can't compete

[Headie]

Doesn't Harrison have an awful champs record as well?

[Headie]

Was it Keni who crashed out/DQ'd in the Beijing 2015 semis? And the 2016 World Indoor final?

[Macie Lightfoot]

See it's **** like this that just BAFFLES me bc last year all we heard was how they need to change how you qualify for the Olympic team bc we left the world record holder off last year but she crumbles under pressure all the damn time? Home girl got sixth in the Olympic Trials like two months before she set the world record! Put her in a low-key time trial and sure she'll do great. Call it a championship and she gets flustered.

[Headie]

Ugen two fouls so far...

Here we go

[Macie Lightfoot]

Kept her composure in her NBC interview but looks like she's just gonna go back to her room and have a good cry. Can't blame her, hope she has enough time to regroup and regather herself for the final. Making the final is somehow progress for her though, as sad as it is :joker:

[Headie]

Omg the BBC are apologising to viewers for Kori Carter's use of an offensive word? That's offensive in England but not America apparently

[Headie]

Oh she said Spastic :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh yeah that ****'s not offensive at all here but I remember I called some BBUK housemate spastic here and everyone hated me :joker:

[Headie]

Ugh British people fuming on Twitter I cba

"people still use the word spastic in 2017??? wow!!" :rolleyes:

[Macie Lightfoot]

"Lots of pushing and shoving - ARGIE BARGIE as they call it here in the UK :)"

[Headie]

oh yeah that ****'s not offensive at all here but I remember I called some BBUK housemate spastic here and everyone hated me :joker:

I'm rewinding to it now and they asked her about her love for squirrels and she said she connects with them because they're "intelligent but spastic and crazy"

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg Ajee' just looked SMOOOOOOOOOTH as could be oh my goodness. Natalie Negrotti would be so proud.

[Headie]

Ugh @ our best runner (Shelayna not Lynsey, sue me x) being in the semi with Niyonsaba and Wambui, with only 2 auto qualifiers

[Macie Lightfoot]

I wish Lynsey was in that heat for the fumes tbh

[Headie]

I wish Lynsey was in that heat for the fumes tbh

She's in with Semenya so I'm still perched for the fumes when she comes 4th/5th and fails to advance

[Macie Lightfoot]

NBC giving a surprisingly neutral take on the Semenya issue.

[Headie]

She's in with Semenya so I'm still perched for the fumes when she comes 4th/5th and fails to advance

Called it x

[Macie Lightfoot]

I do like Cichocka tbh. Good luck Lynsey Sharp, go cry about it in your interview you slag...x

(I don't even know Sharp well tbh she's just fun to pick on)

[Headie]

Lipsey shoulder-barging Lynsey to 4th place :joker:

[Headie]

Ugen finally gets a jump in <3

[Headie]

I want Lynsey to make the final but realistically Shelayna is only gonna make the final as a fastest loser (Wambui and Niyonsaba top 2 auto) and if she does then Lynsey is pushed out

[Headie]

Lynsey Sharp has been DQ'd for grabbing Lipsey's arm :joker:

Paula: "It's COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONAL, SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO IMPEDE HER!!!"

[Headie]

Come thru Shelayna then I guess x

[Macie Lightfoot]

nnnnn that's what u get bitch...x

[Macie Lightfoot]

aww Charlene's watching looking nervous af and Ajee' just gave her a hug, how cute :love:

[Headie]

"WHO WILL TAKE THIS OUT TO A FAST PACE??? SHELAYNA NEEDS A QUICK TIME TO ADVANCE"

*Shelayna leads the pack*

[Headie]

Welp

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg could Brenda have done it

[Macie Lightfoot]

too slow probably they nearly went out 61

[Headie]

omg could Brenda have done it

Her to join Lynsey's lynch mob?

[Headie]

896083228120858624

:skull: @ racism

[Headie]

Nnn Lynsey would've got through as well

[Headie]

896082953691779072

[Macie Lightfoot]

Her to join Lynsey's lynch mob?

nah she LOVES Caster much to every bigot in America's chagrin :joker::joker::joker:

omfg and Lewis Johnson just told Brenda that Ajee' and Charlene were on the sidelines cheering for her :joker: they were hugging bc they're training partners and Charlene got in as the fastest loser you dumbass

[Macie Lightfoot]

Hope Brenda moving up to the 1500 after this year proves to be the right move.

[Headie]

Wow Twitter HATES Lynsey lmao, I do feel a bit bad for her cause she kinda does have a point, but they takin no prisoners today :joker:

Turkey's national anthem sounds like a hidden track on the Star Wars soundtrack

[Headie]

Oh good now we're shown 1000x slow mos of Lynsey locking arms with Lypsey which was a DQ

[Headie]

Lynsey is crying in her interview with Phil...

Twitter's gonna love this one :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Brittney popping one over 7m yes queen.

tbh it's a miracle that some idiot Americans haven't questioned her gender yet

[Jack_]

I don't know what it is (maybe the interview last year) but there's just something I don't like about her

So idc

[Headie]

Lynsey: "*sobbing* I don't know what I did to be DQ'd"
Phil: "Did Charlene say anything to you?"
Lynsey: "... she said she remembered getting hit BUT SO DO I *shows cuts on leg* and I got hit in the heats as well"

Raven is that you?

There was a controversy mess in 2012 when she got selected as the sole athlete with the B standard when there were three women with the A standard who all weren't selected despite having champs experience/making finals before

A true enigma

I'm perched for the drama that follows

Okay so Robby Andrews is two years older than me and from New Jersey so I've been watching him run since he was in high school at state meets and stuff and he is sooooooooo frustrating. He has a good kick that works perfectly in high school meets and most of the time in college meets, but he's been trying to apply the same tactics ever since he turned pro and *shockingly* they have never worked.

Meanwhile Ajee' Wilson, a year younger than me and also from New Jersey, is a complete gem and class act :)

[Headie]

Jesus, Ugen with 4 fouls out of 5 jumps, shame as she looks in great form as well

[Headie]

The accusations are gonna come flooding in if Klishina wins after producing three SBs in one set

[Macie Lightfoot]

even NBC is going in on the Lynsey Sharp call and saying that these officials have been abusing their power.
